Life
Binder grew up in Zurich and studied at the Zurich School of Applied Arts. From 1968 to 1971 he worked as a graphic artist in Milan and from 1975 to 1978 as an illustrator and layouter in Hamburg. He then worked as a freelance graphic designer for numerous print media and book publishers, primarily using the scrapboard technique that is typical for him .
Binder and Glauser
Since 1988 Hannes Binder has dealt repeatedly with the Swiss writer Friedrich Glauser . With Der Chinese (1988), based on the novel of the same name by Glauser, he wrote and illustrated his first Swiss crime comic. This was followed by the adaptations of the two Glauser crime novels Krock & Co. (1990) and Knarrende Schuhe (1992). In Wachtmeister Studer im Ticino (1996) he took over the character of Wachtmeister Studer , but created a new story based on it. In Glausers Fieber (1999) he had the writer Glauser write his own novel The Fever Curve . When asked what makes Glauser so interesting for Binder, the illustrator replied: “First and foremost, it's his way of narrating, his settings. They are extremely cinematic: how he outlines things, how he approaches his object. And there is a lot of irony there. And because I was always looking for researchable materials, Glauser was ideal. Somehow all of this could still be found. And all of that together with his language - he was a Dadaist , that went into the surreal. And it was so pointed at the beginning that I couldn't even draw it like that. It then points in a different direction that you don't want to tell. It's the things between the lines, the details, that attract you. I've always said my fingers itchy, it's an compulsion to draw. That was the entrance. And then I was lucky enough to get through Arche Verlag , the publisher for which I made the book covers for the paperbacks. The Glauser was not yet in paperback and that was the first attempt balloon for me, Der Chinese . That more or less succeeded, it sold very well because there was nothing like it in the German-speaking area, a literature adaptation. "
