-- [ From: e-ensign * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- >Does anyone now if Junger made any appointments on comic >books (authors like Hugo Pratt for instance). No reference whatsoever by Juenger. But he liked to draw himself (see the illustrations in Francois Lagarde's "Photo Album": p. 8, 175, 182). >Or does anyone know of any comic book author that quotes EJ? There exists an "anti-Juenger" comic strip called "Antaia - Ernst Juenger's Muse", drawn and written by the German artist Alfred von Meysenbug. It formed part of the "Streit-Zeit-Schrift," a pamphlet by authors of the Left and extreme Left all critical of Juenger that was published in September 1968. Meysenbug's comic strip is very short (just 6 panels or so) and is partly reproduced on p. 257 of Heimo Schwilk's reader "Ernst Juenger. Leben und Werk in Bildern und Texten" (Klett-Cotta, 1988). The political message is pretty crass, but I quite like the look of it as Meysenbug's style reveals a strong pop-art influence (typical of the time then).
