Gerhard Seyfried

Gerhard Seyfried (born March 15, 1948)[1] is a German comic artist, cartoonist, and writer.

One of the most popular German underground artists, he won the Max & Moritz Prize in 1990.

[1] With Flucht aus Berlin (1989/90) he changed his drawing style and switched from the "scurrying line that curls around the tiniest little things" (F. W. Bernstein)[2] to ligne claire.

"[7] To do this, however, he does not limit himself to the historical-scientific secondary literature, but researches archives for original documents and primary sources.

"[8] Only at the end of the research does he connect the context of the events with fictional characters, who act primarily as observers.
