Die Bibliothek der Comic-Klassiker #[4]

Part of Carlsen's prestigious "Bibliothek der Comic-Klassiker" series, this 2022 German-language collection brings Claire Bretécher's sharp, sardonic vision to life under the title Die Frustrier­ten. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a red-haired young woman in a yellow polka-dot sweater and striped trousers sits slumped and visibly exasperated, chin resting on her hand, a fluffy orange cat tail curling in at the edge of the frame. It's a quietly perfect image — wry, relatable, and utterly Bretécher.
