Details: Short description He is the first man on Mars, his only real company a turtle named Darwin. And if one can even speak of fulfilling tasks, these are observing Martian rocks – a rather monotonous activity – and, committed to the sponsors of this mission, operating a gas station. But soon the most diverse company gathers: aliens refueling, hated colleagues, the grandfather stuck in the past, and allegedly even God is behind one of the hills. With subtle humor and a great sense for absurd scenarios, Leopold Maurer leads his lovable heroes through the barrenness of the red planet and thus gradually tells the touching story of an undoubtedly neurotic, yet always charming explorer. Press reviews conceivable politics of friendship. From the survey line to the red planet, it was probably only a short distance. (Skug) The humor is fine and subtle, the drawings are reduced to the essentials. Worth reading. (Stuttgarter Nachrichten) Incidentally, the question of whether there is water on Mars is clarified here: Of course not. Where else would this bone-dry humor come from? (Der Albrecht) ( ) a psychedelic comic journey into low-oxygen regions ( ), which is nothing other than the finest ecstasy in red, in very, very red pictures. (Raveline) Trifles often stretch over several pictures. It is in this slowness that the bizarre and absurd humor of Mann am Mars lies. No action hero far and wide. On good days, he is a researcher of extreme calm who keeps his cool; on bad days, a phlegmatic bore. In some places you laugh more, in others less.
