I drew the Comic Knast im Kopf (engl. Prison in the Head) for Süddeutsche Zeitung. It based on a real story of the 29 years old junkie Paul Ahorn (not the real name), who had a very heavy past with drug and crime and was going to get out of the prison, again. The editors of the Süddeutsche Zeitung had an interview with him. According to this interview I tried to tell his story in my way.
And I even got interviews (in german) for it :D
Here are some links, if you want to know more about the project:
SZ-Werkstatt about the comic and me (Danke schön liebe Edeltraud!)
Video about how I made the comic (Vielen Dank meine liebe Videokollegen von SZ.de!!)
In the newspaper it looks great! On the sides is the interview with Paul. And I recommend you to read it very much!
To read it in german here.
I was very happy to get the job and it was a great experieance for me to draw a story for the first time about a real person (except myself). I'd like to thank the art directors and editors for giving me the chance, the great cooperation and patience. And thanks to the authors for the interview. And also my dear SZ.de colleagues, thank you!
And I hope that Paul could make it.
