Die Vorstadtgang

In the late 1980s, Carlsen Comics brought Frank Margerin's beloved French banlieue comedy Die Vorstadtgang to German readers, spanning six issues from 1985 to 1991. With Margerin handling both writing and art, alongside co-writers Hartmut Becker and Paul Derouet, the series captures the laid-back, often chaotic adventures of a group of rock-and-roll-loving teens in a suburban housing estate. Its warm, humorous take on teenage friendship and everyday life in the Parisian suburbs made it a cult favorite for German audiences discovering Margerin's signature style.
