DJINN DJINN

A genie in a bottle travels from the Baghdad of the Caliphs to a flat share in the 21st century – confusion on all sides is inevitable. Especially as this hunk of a genie’s idea of decency clashes rather with the happy contemporary chaos for which Ralf König’s fabulous comic book novels are famous.

Ralf König is the superstar among German comic strip writers. His brilliant new book brings together fairytale and all too real life, Orient and Occident.
