Die Indianer

From 1977 to 1981, German publisher Carlsen Comics released Die Indianer, an eight-issue comic series entirely written and illustrated by Hans Kresse (also credited as Hans G. Kresse). The series offers a grounded, historically informed portrayal of Native American life, focusing on the cultures and struggles of various tribes rather than the typical Western adventure tropes. Kresse’s detailed artwork and researched storytelling make this a distinctive European comic that prioritizes authenticity and respect for its subject matter, standing as a notable work in the German comics landscape of the late 1970s.
