Person properties

General info :
Ralf König (born 8 August 1960, Soest, West Germany) is one of the best known and most commercially successful German comic book creators. His books have been translated into many languages, and a few have been adapted into films as well. He has resided in Soest, Dortmund and Berlin and now lives in Cologne.

König's stories are drawn in an expressive cartoon style. Consistently written with humour, they occasionally deal with serious themes such as the tension between sexual freedom and the risk of AIDS infection. His work has repeatedly portrayed daily routines of gay life, often based on personal experiences of himself and his friends. He has also written works that deal centrally with heterosexuals (Der bewegte Mann, Hempels Sofa) and with religious themes, criticizing literalist readings of the bible (Prototyp and Archetyp) as well as Islamic fundamentalism (Dschinn Dschinn).
