In the organizer's words:

Everyday objects tell stories: "Imagine! Comics about the post-war period". Presentation of the new graphic novel

The end of the war in Germany. Many cities are completely destroyed. Between the ruins, people try to organize their lives - an everyday life between repression and insight, between past, reconstruction and future.

Since the 1980s, pastor Werner Abresch from Wesel has been collecting objects that illustrate the post-war period in a special way: A steel helmet becomes a lettuce sieve, shell casings become flower vases and a parachute becomes a wedding dress.

In the graphic novel "Imagine! Comics about the post-war period", five comic artists use such everyday objects to tell stories from the devastated Germany after the Second World War.

Text and drawings: Julia Bernhard, Tobi Dahmen, Melanie Garanin, Mikael Ross, Volker Schmitt and Julia Zejn.

On Monday, March 10, 2025 , the new graphic novel will be presented at the Künstlerverein Malkasten in Düsseldorf.

Philipp Abresch, son of Werner Abresch, illustrator Tobi Dahmen, Jakob Hoffmann and Gabriele Uelsberg from Haus der Geschichte NRW will talk about comics as a medium for conveying history and the challenge of telling stories of destruction, suffering and new beginnings in comics.

The book premiere will take place at the Künstlerverein Malkasten, Jacobistr. 6 a in Düsseldorf. Free admission. Registration: veranstaltungen@hdgnrw.de

The graphic novel is published by Philipp Abresch, Tobi Dahmen, Jakob Hoffmann and the Haus der Geschichte Nordrhein-Westfalen.
