Die Endzeit der Delphine #1

Die Endzeit der Delphine emerged from the vibrant and experimental independent German comic scene of the late 1980s. Created as a visually striking narrative project, this debut issue was conceived to explore existential and ecological themes through a surrealist, dystopian lens, reflecting the era's growing cultural anxiety regarding environmental collapse and societal decay.

The artistic direction for this series prioritized high-contrast, moody illustrations that leaned into the alternative underground aesthetic of the time. While the series remains a niche artifact, it was noted among enthusiasts of independent European graphic literature for its unconventional layout and thematic density, serving as an example of the era's push toward more mature and conceptual storytelling in the medium.
