Through the film adaptation of the graphic novel 'The Moving Man' (1994), Ralf König became the most successful German comic artist. Although he views the world through the eyes of a gay man, his characters with their bulbous noses have found an enthusiastic audience of all sexual orientations. Ralf König has long achieved the status of a modern classic. The young König's journey began with his love for Robert Crumb and publications in comic magazines with tiny print runs. Looking back at these early works, one can trace how the artist finds his style, and you can feel the joy of storytelling on every page. These early years before the big breakthrough are documented in the edition 'The Young König' (2014 – 2016). In 2020, König celebrates both his 60th birthday and his 40th anniversary as an artist; for this reason, we are offering 'The Young König' as a special edition at a significantly reduced price.
