Jackel und Bastel

A charmingly modest German series from Bildbuchverlag Hartmann & Co., Jackel und Bastel debuted in 1948 and has continued, however sparsely, into the present day with just two issues. The series is most closely associated with artist Hans Füsser, whose work defines its gentle, post-war simplicity. While its publication history is brief, Jackel und Bastel endures as a quiet artifact of early German children's comics, notable for its longevity despite a minimal output.
