“Acht, neun, zehn” (Eight, nine, ten) is a graphic novel by a young, talented German comic artist called Arne Bellstorf. It was his diploma thesis and he also won an award for it. The story is about this kid Christoph. He doesn’t really get along with his mom, has to repeat his last schoolyear and is kinda lonely. It’s a really nice story and I love the drawings. If you’re into graphic novels, check it out. In German of course ;)
