Alexander Nikopol im 21. Jahrhundert

Enki Bilal’s Alexander Nikopol im 21. Jahrhundert is a landmark German-published science-fiction comic series from Carlsen Comics, launched in 1988. Spanning just two issues, the series follows its titular protagonist through a bleak, visually arresting future, with Bilal’s distinctive painted art and narrative style establishing the tone. It matters as the foundational work that introduces the Nikopol mythos, later expanded internationally, and remains a key showcase of Bilal’s singular, dystopian vision.
