About the series
A single-issue anthology from 1987, Ruhrpott Underground Comics captures the raw, do-it-yourself energy of Germany's underground scene through the lens of artist Michael Karschner, the primary creative force behind bs-press. This debut issue stands as a time capsule of the Ruhr region's counterculture, blending gritty, personal storytelling with the unpolished aesthetic that defined the era's indie comics. Though brief in run, it remains a foundational artifact for fans of European underground comix.
