the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning comic book and graphic novel
publisher, is proud to announce the release of the 2018 finalist for the
Berthold Leibinger Foundation comic book prize, Parallel, from creator Matthias
Lehmann (Hwy. 115, La Favorita). The English-translated softcover is
available June 13, 2023. Ginco Award-winner Lehmann deftly explores his own
complicated family history—a relative who lived with the complexities of
being gay at a time when queer relationships were forbidden. Parallel
examines a life torn between longing for a family and simultaneous desire
for gay love in 1950s Germany.


Taking place between the end of World War II and the 1980s, Parallel chronicles
Karl Kling's efforts to comply with social norms in order to keep his
sexuality a secret. It also paints a picture of a life torn between
conformity and rebellion, and the cruel realities of twentieth-century
German society, where homosexuality was proscribed and punishable until
1994. Matthias Lehmann poignantly depicts the story of a decades-long
yearning to live an open and free life, and the price Karl and those he
loves paid for it. It is also a story of finding the courage to finally
tell the truth no matter the obstacles . . . or the cost.
