The Rudolph Dirks Award sent me these stickers that can be put on my ‘War of the Worlds‘ graphic novel since it won the award for best literary adaption. Don‘t they look nice with all that gold? :-) Plus, there came a poster which retailers and comic book dealers can put on display that lists all the winners.

Hello everybody! I am superhappy about this - ‘War of the Worlds‘ has been awarded with the Rudolph Dirks Award (named after famous comic pioneer Rudolph Dirks) in the ‘Best Literary Adaption‘ category 2017! This is a great honor for me. I am supergrateful to the jury.
Hello and sorry for posting not that much recently, I’m busy! But I can offer you a chance to solve the 'christmas gift’ problem this year ;-): I'm at the Comic Con in Dortmund (Germany) next weekend, signing 'War of the Worlds' for you! Here's my schedule:
Saturday 12/9/17:
11 am - 1 pm
2 pm - 4 pm
Sunday 12/10/17:
12 am - 2 pm
You can find me at the booth of the 'Sammlerecke' which is run bei Uwe Lochmann. Glad to see you there!
Oh, and on Sunday there's also a panel with me on the con where I demonstrate how I adapted this science fiction classic, with lots of pictures and some Q & A-time. It's where the workshops are on the Con.
For more details, please have a look at the Comic Con page. They're updating hall plans soon!
Lovely October is here with its busy event schedules! For instance our ‘Reading Panels' live reading of my ‘War of the Worlds‘ graphic novel at Projekttheater Dresden on the 22nd at 8 pm (tickets: www.reservix.de)! This will be huge fun when four comic book artists, amongst them me, will do a reading of my comic live on stage, with sound effects and all! Whoever wanted to hear and see a scenic presentation of the story and science fiction in comic books in general can‘t miss :-). So come all! Here‘s to the facts: Sunday Oct. 22nd, 8 pm Projekttheater Dresden, Louisenstraße 47 01099 Dresden With fellow comic artists Katja Klengel, Adrian Vom Baur, Tim Gaedke and me :-). See you there!
On September 30 and October 1st, the German Comic Con in Berlin will be held at the Messe Berlin at the Berlin fair, Messedamm 22,14055 Berlin (halls 1.2 and 3.2.). For this year‘s fair, I was asked to do the ‘official artwork’ for the con. Since my ‘War of the Worlds‘ graphic novel came out this year by Egmont, it was my first choice to do something related to that.
I was happy to use the opportunity to illustrate a scene that could have happened throughout the novel, in fact, H.G. Wells himself gives it a thought in his book: The martians going on a rampage in victorian (or, in this case, wilheminian) Berlin. The author lets his main character (in my graphic novel adaption: Robert) think about what might happen to other capitals in the world at a point of the story where ‘all seems lost‘.
A thrilling idea for the illustrator :). So I prepped this martian war machine up for a marauding tour through one of Berlins most exclusive ‘shopping districts‘ of the late 19th century: Leipziger Straße. Here big and beautiful department stores had been built, the most famous one the Wertheim store (the ‘Mall of Berlin‘ is standing on its spot today). The building‘s design set new standards for warehouse architecture, with its long vertical columns and festive ornamental style by architect Alfred Messel. On the final illustration seen above, the martian war machine seems to have just destroyed the main part of the building.
In the background on the left, there was also place for a still-standing Brandenburg Gate.
I will sign the ‘War of the Worlds‘ graphic novel on the con at the Egmont booth (hall 3.2, A7). Here‘s the schedule:
Saturday, September 30:
12 am - 2 pm
from quarter to 3 pm to half past 3 pm there‘s a panel with me about my work and supposedly some live drawing
4 pm - 5 pm
Sunday, October 1:
12 am - 2 pm
3 pm - half past 4 pm
See you there!
I will present my ’War of the Worlds’ graphic novel on June 29, 2017 at the Kulturzentrum Pelmke Pelmkestraße 14 in 58098 Hagen (Northrhine-Westfalia) at 8 pm. The entrance is free! I will show you how I came to this wonderful classic, how I researched for years and how I worked on it. Afterwards you can ask me anything and I will sign the book for you!
’The War of the Worlds’ graphic novel (and me ;-) will be in Munich next week for the Comicfestival. For those who want a drawing, here's my signing schedule at the Egmont booth at Alte Kongresshalle (subway: U4 and U5 Schwanthaler Höhe):
Friday May 26 from 10-12 am and 4-6 pm Saturday May 27 from 10-12 am, 1-2 pm and 5-6 pm Sunday May 28 from 1-3 pm Glad to see you there :-) Cheers!
Two new book signings of my ’War of the Worlds’ graphic novel (Egmont). Both depicting Emma, one of my main characters, doing things you might wanna do after you won your life back (and Martians have been defeated): The upper one (for a friend living in Rome) showing her visiting the Arch of Constantine, the one below finding her searching for children’s books in what is supposed to be the book department of a big store of the time ’War of the Worlds’ is set (maybe Harrod’s? Or somewhere in Europe, maybe Belgium). Is she planning a little family with Robert, my other main character of the graphic novel?
I am busy at the moment, and that’s why I can’t manage it to post more regularly, for which I’m sorry - I am working on some new projects and will keep you posted! But recently something great happened - my graphic novel adaption of H.G. Wells’ ’The War of the Worlds’ (Egmont Graphic Novel) was featured on german TV in the show ’Kulturzeit’ on 3Sat. They made a really nice movie -kind of a book trailer - for that which is now up on their page: Link It’s a happy feeling to see your panels animated and the story you dived in so deeply presented in a TV show, also kind of weird :-). But very good weird, indeed!
Hi there! Tomorrow, at 7:20 pm, my ’War of the Worlds’ graphic novel adaption will be featured on german TV in the show "Kulturzeit" on 3Sat. I am looking forward to that, feel free to snuggle on your couch and watch this really interesting program packed with many other art-and-literature-related topics, too.
Some dedications I did in copies of my ’War of the Worlds’ graphic novel that is hot off the press by Egmont.

A small flip-through movie of my ’War of the Worlds’ graphic novel (not the complete book, though, and in no Academy Award-winning quality, I’m afraid - but I hope you can enjoy and nevertehless get some insight in the comic :)
The graphic novel adaption of H.G. Wells' famous ’War of the Worlds’ is officially out now! I am soooo superhappy :-). And I hope you like it - as well as I do, I did my very best - the book is so truthful to the Wellsian novel, I can guarantee that - so, if you read it, you really should have the impression what the book is like (though my adaption it is an own piece of work as well, of course :-). You can purchase the book everywhere in stores and of course on the evening of the book premiere (on January 20 at 8 pm, at the Bibliothek am Luisenbad (a library), 13357, Travemünder Straße 2, Berlin - the entrance is free), too, and I will gladly sign it for you. More information and pictures are following soon.
Next Sunday, January 8, at 6.40 pm there will be an interview with me on radioeins about my graphic novel adaption of "The War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells. I am looking forward to it and to many listeners!
It’s exciting to talk about this comic in a medium where (concerning me and my initialization with ’War of the Worlds’) everything began :-).
Hanging the ’War of the Worlds’ exhibition at the Bibliothek am Luisenbad, a library in the Berlin borough Wedding. The exhibition is from January 2nd to February 24th, you can see original preliminary drawings of the graphic novel pages as well as some conceptional art and finished artwork. The exhibition accompanies the book premiere on January 20, 8 pm, at the same library in the so-called ’Puttensaal’, a beautiful belle epoque room where I will show my workflow on ’War of the Worlds’ throughout the years and how I came to do this famous classic as a comic book. Everyone is welcome to attend! The wonderful musician Jörg Walter is playing piano music from the period ’War of the Wolrds’ is set, and the entrance is free.
