A journey through the diverse world of comics in the Saarland, featuring works from the local comic scene and stories with a Saarland connection.
25 June–24 August 2026

Comics have long been more than just colourful entertainment. They tell stories, distil ideas and bring to light what lies between the lines. With just a few strokes, entire worlds are created – sometimes humorous, sometimes critical, sometimes personal.
The exhibition ‘Ausgezeichnet! Comics in the SULB Collection’ invites visitors to discover the diversity of comic art in the Saarland. On display is a selection from the extensive collections of the Saarland University and State Library, as well as exemplary works by regional artists.
The Saarland boasts an active and internationally renowned comics scene, the vast scope of which can only be presented here in part. The exhibits on display are representative of numerous other illustrators and authors from the region.
The library itself becomes a narrative space – a place where comics can be preserved, researched and rediscovered time and again.
