Faust

Offer a lot and lots get what they want. Flix is without a doubt one of the most productive and creative German illustrators of our time. While working on his humorous book about the Berlin Wall, Da War Mal Was . . . (There Used To Be Something Here . . .), he also began to adapt a classic tragedy for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: Goethe’s Faust. The general plot and the rivalry between God and Mephistopheles remain, but Heinrich Faust is now a Berlin college student, with several concentrations, and a taxi driver. Brilliantly adapted into Flix’s trademark pictorial language, this modern version is a delight for Faust enthusiasts and comic book lovers. -An adaptation of Goethe’s classic tragedy
