Schlange und Speer

Hub and Tanja Krämling weave a tense, character-driven thriller in Schlange und Speer (2020–present, Splitter Verlag), a three-issue series that follows a mysterious, serpent-linked conspiracy through the eyes of a determined investigator. With Hub handling both writing and art, the story unfolds in a moody, modern European setting where ancient symbols and modern power struggles collide. This compact, atmospheric noir stands out for its taut pacing and Hub’s evocative, shadow-drenched visuals, making it a sharp entry in Splitter’s catalog of sophisticated graphic novels.
