Flix

Flix (b. 1976) lives and works as a freelance illustrator and comic artist in Berlin. He studied communication design and made his debut with his thesis project “held,” published by Carlsen. This was followed by additional comics with autobiographical elements. His newspaper strips “Da war mal was...” and “Schöne Töchter” (both in the Tagesspiegel), “Faust” and “Don Quijote” (both in the F.A.Z.) are available in book form, as is the children’s comic series “Ferdinand,” which appears as a collaborative project with Ralph Ruthe in SPIEGEL’s children’s magazine “Dein SPIEGEL”. With “Spirou in Berlin,” Flix became the first German-speaking artist to create an adventure for the Franco-Belgian series in 2018. This was followed by “Das Humboldt-Tier,” an adventure set in the Marsupilami universe. “Das Zyx,” a ABC book for reading aloud was published by Kibitz in 2024. In 2025, he curated the exhibition “UDERZO – From Asterix to Magic Potion” at the Museum for Communication in Berlin. Flix is the scriptwriter for the new Lucky Luke homage “Die Grimm Brothers,” which will be published by Egmont in 2026. His works have received numerous awards, including the Max und Moritz Prize and the PENG! Prize, and have been translated into various languages.
