Mawil

Markus ”Mawil“ Witzel started publishing his first comics in self published Fanzines, while he was still in school. After graduation he decided to study communications design at Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin. His thesis was the comic ”Wir können ja auch Freunde bleiben.“ This book, as well as his following works were translated and published in countries such as France, Poland, the USA and South Korea. His biggest success was ”Kinderland,“ which won most successful Comic of the Year 2014 as well as the prestigious Max-und-Moritz-Preis for best comic. His work can also be found in the Sunday issue of the newspaper Tagesspiegel as well as the family magazine of the Süddeutsche Zeitung.

His newest work ”Lucky Luke sattelt um“, which was published May 2nd, 2019 (by Egmont Publishing) makes him the first German artist to work on the iconic Lucky Luke.
