Zack #320

Zack was a seminal German-language weekly comic magazine that debuted in 1972, serving as a primary gateway for the Franco-Belgian comics tradition—known as bande dessinée—to reach a German audience. Issue 320, published in 1978, reflects the magazine's role during its peak period as a platform for legendary adventure and science fiction series, including titles like Blueberry, Rick Master, and Valerian and Laureline.

The visual identity of Zack was largely defined by its editorial commitment to high-quality serialization and dynamic cover art that captured the adventurous spirit of the era. The magazine was curated by Koralle-Verlag and became a cultural touchstone for readers interested in the intricate storytelling and artistic sophistication of French and Belgian creators. The design emphasized bold graphic layouts and crisp color printing, which helped distinguish it from the more traditional or juvenile comic books available in Germany at the time.
