Ede und die fiesen Fünf

From 1994 onward, Simone Klages wrote and illustrated Ede und die fiesen Fünf for dtv, a single-issue comic that introduces a young boy and his five decidedly nasty animal companions. Klages’s energetic, mischievous storytelling and artwork give this short-lived series a playful, slightly anarchic charm. It stands as a quirky, self-contained snapshot of 1990s German children’s comics, showcasing Klages’s distinctive voice as both writer and artist.
