CCON | COMIC CON STUTTGART 2022 | Comic-Verlage | The Next Art

THENEXTART started in 2004 with the intention of giving German comic artists the opportunity to publish their own projects, which do not find a place in the programs of the major publishers. THENEXTART mainly stands for comic books based on the American model. Independent publishers such as Image Comics, Aspen, Avatar Press or Zenescope Entertainment were the godfathers here.

The colorful program includes thrillers like “Seneca File” by Michael Feldmann and “Touch” by HOK, end-time action series like “Hades-Syndrom” by Michael Feldmann, dark superhero stories like “The Counselor” and “Der Engel” by Tomppa, fantasy like “Starchild” by Hannes Klesse and “Blue Evolution”, Sci-fiction with “Enklave” by Sascha Dörp, westerns by Matt Fynch with “Lilly Swan” or “Sinnermann” by Fern/Winter, horror with “Zombies auf der Reeperbahn” and “Red Riding Zombi”, erotica with “Justine & Juliette” and “SBK83” and many more independent works by various artists.

To date, THENEXTART has published over 200 comics, albums and artbooks. Many of the comics are released with limited variant covers, feature blank sketch covers by the artists, making them not only exciting stories but also popular collectibles.

THENEXTART offers its artists a home and fans the opportunity to enjoy sophisticated comic projects, read comic books in the style of the American models, get in touch with the artists at trade shows and purchase original artwork of the comics.
