Der Planwagen des Thespis

A German-language series from Piredda Verlag, Der Planwagen des Thespis (2010–present) follows a traveling theater troupe in antiquity, blending historical adventure with the drama of performance. Written primarily by Marcus Schweizer and Philippe Bonifay, and consistently illustrated by Christian Rossi, the series uses the wagon of the title—named for the ancient Greek father of drama—as a mobile stage for stories of love, rivalry, and survival. With four issues to date, it stands as a thoughtful, character-driven comic that explores the roots of storytelling itself.
