The story
Founded by Dirk Rehm in 1991.1
Reprodukt was founded by Dirk Rehm in 1991. Rehm chose the name—the German word for "reproduce"—because he viewed the printed pages of published comics as reproductions of the original artwork. Entering the industry with a German-language republication of the Hernandez brothers' Love and Rockets established the company's focus on alternative comics, especially avant-garde works by comic creators with distinctive styles. Many of their published titles are autobiographical works targeted at educated, middle-class adult readers, although they also release children's comics. One such series, "Kiste", a story about an animated cardboard box, has been one of their bestsellers.
Reprodukt has published comic books by American comic artists including Charles Burns, Dan Clowes, and Craig Thompson, New Zealander Dylan Horrocks, and Austrian artist Nicolas Mahler, as well as German comic book creators such as Mawil Anna Haifisch and Barbara Yelin
