A retelling of the events that led to the death of Bernd Juergen Brandes. Brandes responded to Armin Meiwes' Internet ad in 2001, where Meiwes indicated that he was looking for a man willing to be killed and eaten. 阿明·迈韦斯(Armin Meiwes,1961年-),德国埃森人,原本职业为电脑技术人员。他因为在互联网联系上一名自愿者Bernd Jürgen Brandes一起安排计划杀死并吃掉他。2002年冬被捕后因为其行为而闻名于世,德国国内更被蔑称为“罗滕堡之食人鬼”(Kannibale von Rotenburg)或“大屠夫”(Der Metzgermeister)。入狱后迈韦斯改变为素食者,并志愿协助处理人食人个案及有实行或被同类相食倾向的病人。 迈韦斯先在互联网上一个同类相食网站“The Cannibal Cafe”刊登广告物色吞吃对象,并写下条件“寻找18到30岁拥有良好体格,愿意被杀后被吃掉的人。”尽管申请人众多,但迈韦斯最后只选择了有易服癖的Bernd Jürgen Brandes。根据二人自行录制的录像带显示,事件发生在2001年圣诞节,迈韦斯在罗滕堡村庄的住所,迈韦斯将Brandes的阴茎锯掉并二人一起将其生吃,迈韦斯本想用啃但不成功,后来他用刀子切开,Brandes也形容它韧而黏而难以进食。接着迈韦斯拿剩下的阴茎放到锅里嫩煎,并以盐、胡椒和大蒜调味,但结果因为煎过火而被废弃了。不过根据看过这录像带的记者形容(录像带被执法人员搜到后一直没对一般民众公开),Brandes应该因为失血而没有气力去咀嚼自己的阴茎。之后迈韦斯给了Brandes大量止痛药、安眠药和烈酒,自己在一边阅读3小时的科幻小说,任由Brandes在浴缸中沐浴失血至死。最后他吻了Brandes一口,将他搬动到家中特别设置的屠房,对Brandes的喉咙刺了一刀,用挂肉钩吊起他的尸体并撕掉一大片肉,迈韦斯甚至尝试将他的骨磨成粉。其后的10个月将被切开部位贮藏在冰箱中,继续进食最少20公斤Brandes的尸体。 迈韦斯于2002年12月被捕,在此之前他显然还在互联网上发布信息寻找新的受害者。

other title: 漫画之王 / König des Comics …
You may not recognize the name Ralf König, but you probably recognize his art. One of the most commercially successful German comic book creators, he is best known for books like “SchwulComix (GayComix)” that offer a twisted take on queer culture. Equal parts Tom of Finland and R. Crumb, König’s comics are sexually charged and often politically incorrect, portraying daily routines of gay life alongside serious subjects like AIDS. King of Comics is a touching portrait of a cutting-edge artist with a wicked sense of humor. All hail the king! —Jimmy Radosta
