Heidi

In the late 1980s, Bastei Verlag brought the beloved Alpine orphan to the comic page with Heidi, a 28-issue series that adapted Johanna Spyri’s classic story for a new generation. Known for its warm, pastoral art and faithful storytelling, the series captured the innocence and resilience of its young heroine against the backdrop of the Swiss mountains. While the creative team remains largely unsung, the comic stands as a charming, family-friendly entry in German-language publishing, offering a gentle introduction to a timeless literary character.
