Dieter Lumpen

In the late 1990s, Planeta DeAgostini published Dieter Lumpen, a ten-issue series following the titular adventurer—a cynical, world-weary globetrotter whose misadventures blend noir intrigue with dark humor. Crafted by Spanish creators Jorge Zentner and Rubén Pellejero, the strip stands as a celebrated European graphic novel import, known for its lush, expressive artwork and morally complex storytelling. A cult favorite among connoisseurs of international comics, it matters for its sophisticated, adult take on the classic action-adventure genre.
