Jens Harder: His comic “Beta” is an incredibly successful project

Jens Harder skilfully pursues a megalomaniacal project: the artist traces the history of mankind in comics. With his recently published work “Beta” he covers the time up to the present day, including Corona. Next he wants to draw the future.

Some readers may remember now. We have already reported on Jens Harder’s huge project. That was in the summer of 2014, and there are good reasons why so much time has passed since then. The project of the illustrator and draftsman, born in 1970 in Weißwasser in the former GDR, is simply too megalomaniac: he wants to retell the history of evolution and mankind. With lots of carefully curated images and as little text as possible.
