Liebe schaut weg

In Liebe schaut weg (2021–present, Reprodukt), German cartoonist Line Hoven crafts a single, self-contained graphic novel that examines the quiet, often overlooked cruelties and small acts of kindness within a fractured family. Published as a standalone comic, this poignant work uses Hoven’s distinctive, intricate scratchboard style to explore memory, loss, and the emotional distances people maintain. A deeply personal and resonant addition to the contemporary European comics landscape, it showcases Hoven’s reputation for intimate, visually striking storytelling.
