Trip with Drip

»That's not true!« What fate has foisted upon him is an imposition even for the most casual wolf: because it has accidentally saved his life, he suddenly has a... rabbit on his hands! If it weren't for the wolf code, which obliges him to take care of the little rodent's well-being. The rabbit can tell you a thing or two about impositions, after all, it drags an annoying drip and a metre-long medication schedule through life. And now a wolf!

Josephine Mark sends her unusual group of fates on a fast-paced road trip with everything that goes with it: trigger-happy hunters, cheap motels, bears, freezing IV bags. And the big question of whether it's really just the wolf code that binds them together.

»Without exaggeration: I love this book. Rarely has the subject of illness been put on paper as gently as it is pleasurably. A comforting encouragement for young and old and, quite incidentally, a comic that is rarely produced in this country: warm-hearted and very, very funny!« - Ralf König

Boris and Babette: Skeletons Everywhere

A pet! When a neighbour asks Boris to take care of her pet Babette, he doesn't hesitate for long. There's just one catch: Boris' parents don't want any animals in the flat. So he has to hide Babette well. But that is less tricky than the question of WHAT kind of animal Babette actually is? She is yellow, walks on two legs and likes television, flips and scary things. The craziest fact: Babette can talk!

His secret flatmate really upsets Boris' life. Because Babette is always sad. To make her feel good, Boris has to turn his children's room into a ghost train! But where is he supposed to get SKELETONS?! When Mum and Dad discover Babette and she disappears shortly afterwards, the adventure really begins...

With lovable characters and lots of wry wit, Tanja Esch tells of feeling strange and finding one's own identity and a place in our world.

The Grumpy Bear

The Grumpy Bear loves being in a bad mood. He doesn’t like the sunshine because it makes him sweat, and he can’t stand rain either because it gets him wet. There’s not a thing in the world that will make him happy. The Grumpy Bear doesn’t like having visitors and he doesn’t want to visit anyone either.But the friendly creatures in his neighbourhood don’t let that put them off. So we’ll just keep on practicing this whole visiting business, says Tingeli. The Grumpy Bear’s surliness just washes off him like water off a duck’s back. Tingeli is always full of good ideas; it takes charge and chivvies the rest of the animals into line so they can all do things together.The end result is a cheerful little community in which everyone thoroughly enjoys themselves: the Grey Heron family with its overprotective mother, the King Penguin whose favourite treat is sardine jam, the Rabbit family with their countless bubbly children – and Marie, the little girl who is glad she can pour out her woes to her new friends.

The Invisible Spaceship

A most unusual space adventure: the crew of the Invisibility 2 discovers that it's easy to turn on the new invisibility drive, but quite harder to turn it off again, since everything on board is invisible now, buttons and switches included. The situation worsens because they cannot move their ship out of the nebula, have to deal with old archenemies and even sticky hair balls, regugitated by technical officer Honk.

This is quite a different comic book! There’s not much to see (Some wonderful panels by Box artist Uwe Heidschötter are included, though), but so much to imagine as the readers follow the word balloons and funny sounds Patrick Wirbeleit and Andrew Matthews came up with for this very hilarious story.

As great as finding new friends is: if your new companion is a big, bold, not-too-bright viking torn out of his own time, there’s gonna be trouble! And it’s trouble Julius gets when his new friend encounters cars, strange modern devices, that can take your picture – and delicious wildlife.

This funny story reverses traditional roles, where the grown-up is impulsive and the kid has to try to be the reasonable one.

So Julius is having a lot of fun! If only his Viking friend wasn't so much of the past! High time to familiarise Gorm with today's customs. But why waste a knife and fork on food when a warrior can just as easily attack your laughing muscles with it?!

My Rules, Period!

Summer camp. Sounds like fun and adventure. But 9-year-old Emmi is not convinced. So many weird kids! Luckily, her counselor, Malin, is super nice and even shares Emmi's passion for fantasy role-playing games: soon she's part of a really cool group that no dragon castle (or shared refrigerator) is safe from.

Finally, it looks like the summer is off to a good start, if it weren't for an incident no game master could have imagined: Emmi gets her first period. And despite all the new friendships, she keeps it a secret from the others because she feels ashamed.

But Malin, the counselor, turns out to be a sensitive and experienced friend whois able to allay Emmi's fears about the disturbing changes in her body. But not all fears, Emmi still needs a little fear for the traditional night walk!

Ines Korth's My Rules, Period! shows how shame and confusion about menstruation can be addressed and debunked in an entertaining and at the same time well-founded way for young people.

Deathective Agency

Phew, that was close! Horsing around in the old monastery ruins, Lukas almost breaks his neck. The Grim Reaper was ready to take him, and although Lukas made it by the skin of his teeth, Death will be stopping by to say hello from time to time. Too bad that Lukas doesn’t believe Death exists.

But when Lukas’ friend Johann drowns in the village pond some time later, Lukas will have to trust Death when he tells him that Johann’s death wasn’t an accident. With a lot of ingenuity and a little bit of magic, the unlikely pair team up to form the most world’s most unusual detective agency, and set off on a search for clues that will lead them deep into the sordid past of some of the village's most honourable characters.. 

From two of the most acclaimed German comic creators of recent years comes a thrilling mystery story in which a clever boy teams up with Death himself to find out the truth about his friend’s death.
