About WEIRD

WEIRD is a comic label, a small publishing house, making literature in the form of comics. Its goal is to promote Berlin made comics in and outside of Germany to a wider audience to help readers discover new artists. WEIRD cares about storytelling just as much as illustration and encourages the exploration of new forms of narration. With its affordable prices, WEIRD strives to make beautiful comics available to all.
