Summary:

14 female comic artists tell us how they imagine the world in 100 years

Will we live with aliens in the future? Will AI create the best of all worlds for us? Or will we no longer be able to escape the climate crisis anyway? Imaginative and multifaceted, the short comics continue current debates about climate, gender and technology and report on beautiful, terrible and surprising new worlds.

The anthology also dares to take a look into the future of comics and gives an overview of the artistic and narrative positions that make the German comics scene so special.

With contributions from Maren Amini, Whitney Bursch, Bea Davies, Sheree Domingo, Katia Fouquet, Aisha Franz, Melanie Garanin, Peer Jongeling, Kathrin Klingner, Mia Oberländer, Elizabeth “Fungirl” Pich, Marijpol, Maki Shimizu and Malwine Stauss. Edited by Lilian Pithan.
