Reading and conversation with Marc Degens; moderated by Andreas Platthaus
Essen-Katernberg, mid-2010s: Marthe is studying at the Academy of Visual Arts and Graphic Narrative and lives in a shared flat with three fellow students, which also serves as the headquarters of the student publishing house Bolsterbaumhaus. She draws autobiographical animal comics, hates Donald Trump, has sex with Kurt, gets together with Oleg and sells pornographic Bible comics at the weekly market ... In fast-paced, addictive language, Marc Degens recounts the triumph of graphic novels and the highs and lows of DIY art.
