Publishing program

Edition 52 also publishes works by German and international illustrators and authors who approach their graphic and literary work with particular artistic demands. In recent years, however, publications designed purely for entertainment have been increasingly found in the publisher's program. In addition to international comics, mostly well-known independent artists from the United States and Canada or the Franco-Belgian region, there are also own productions and comics by local artists such as Andreas Eikenroth , Jan-Michael Richter , Ulf Keyenburg , Juliane Kruschke , Frank Schmolke , Tim Dinter or published by the Austrian Nicolas Mahler .

Some of the successfully published series from German production include titles such as the award-winning vampire trilogy Berlinoir by Reinhard Kleist , Findrella by Calle Claus or Frass by Uli Oesterle . The foreign comic makers in the publisher's program increasingly include North American artists such as Joe Matt , Rich Koslowski or especially the Canadians Gregory Gallant , Jeff Lemire and Michel Rabagliati, as well as southern European draftsmen and authors such as Lorenzo Mattotti , Daniel Torres or the exceptional French author Hervé Barulea .

In addition to the usual individual publications, Edition 52 also published publications by other artist groups for a number of years or supported the work of small labels . These include, for example, the comics of the Lovecrafts project, which specializes in horror stories , by the authors Miguel E. Riveros and Alexander Fechner, and the renowned Berlin comic anthology Epidermophytie .
