Akira Kurosawa und der meditierende Frosch #[nn]

Nicolas Mahler's delightfully offbeat cover sets the tone perfectly: a large, serene frog rendered in loose brushstrokes dominates the center, flanked by two small samurai figures sketched in blue and pink at opposite corners. The whole composition has a wonderfully calm, almost zen quality that matches the title's promise of meditative strangeness. Published by Reprodukt in 2023, this is the kind of quietly inventive comic that rewards anyone drawn to Mahler's distinctly deadpan visual wit.
