It's a long and depressing story but Bastei Verlag were supposedly going to until Egmont bought them and comic projects were cancelled.
Another German company expressed interest but after 6 months they just went silent and vanished within a year.
I have tried but it seems US and Japanese reprints are of more interest so, although it would be nice to have a publisher who could publish, distribute and take care of all the other stuff... I really cannot see it happening.
It may never happen but it is interesting all the time ! TTFN.
ReplyDeleteWell there was the planned animated series in the 1990s but that company went into financial trouble and then vanished. I cannot see a German company being interested in a series with original German characters when they can publish Manga or US reprints. Back in the 1980s/early 1990s the series took off with German indie comic fans because the characters were German and not American viewed "German types" (I am well over 50% German according to DNA testing!)
