Yps Extra

From 1985 to 1988, Gruner + Jahr published Yps Extra, a short-lived but fondly remembered German comic series that ran for 14 issues. A spin-off of the iconic Yps magazine, it continued the tradition of blending humor, adventure, and the famous gag items, but with a sharper focus on comic strips and serialized stories. While Yps itself was a cultural phenomenon, Yps Extra offered a more concentrated dose of the same irreverent, playful spirit, making it a nostalgic touchstone for fans of the era's European comics.
