Die Haie von Lagos

In this taut, three-issue German miniseries from comicplus+, writer-artist Matthias Schultheiss crafts a noir-tinged thriller set in the gritty underworld of Lagos, Nigeria. Published in 2000–2001, the story follows a European expatriate drawn into a web of corruption, violence, and moral compromise. Schultheiss’s stark, atmospheric art and lean storytelling give the series a cinematic, hardboiled edge that stands out in early-2000s European comics. Die Haie von Lagos is a sharp, self-contained crime saga that showcases Schultheiss’s mastery of mood and character.
