Soon after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the West Germanborn Katrin de Vries read a magazine featuring the drawings of the East Germanborn Anke Feuchtenberger. De Vries wrote to ask Feuchtenberger if she might want to collaborate, and together theyve produced some of the most striking German comics of the last thirty years, most notablyW the Whore.

Collected here in English for the first time,W the Whore,W the Whore Makes Her Tracks, andW the Whore Throws the Glovepresent the shared vision of de Vries and Feuchtenberger at its most ambitious. The titular heroine, W the Whore, drawn in a shifting guise by Feuchtenberger, navigates the tedious rituals of womanhood, the unsettling mysteries of male desire, and the strangeness of motherhood, all while moving through a familiar but hostile everyday landscape of houses, factories, rail yards, and other ominous structures. An intimate and captivating work of comics,W the Whoreis a testament to the challenges of existing in the bodies that we have been fated to inhabit, and what we do to persevere.
