After the party comes the hangover ... Nonsense, wait a minute, in this case the rat comes. Flying in! And right into the face of Empress Irene, while her new favourite pet, the elephant Abul Abbas, first went on a rampage during the procession and then suddenly disappeared. Whereto exactly and what the Abrafaxe might have to do with this is the subject of this new MOSAIK with the number 572 (or since it was so nice, you can alternatively say issue 801).

By the way, the anniversary issue 800 is still available at the newsstand for another month.

Subscriptions are not only good for us, but also good for you: As a newsletter subscriber, you are the very first to find out what's new at our publishing house, and if the post office cooperates, you will have your subscription issue in the box before it is officially on sale at the newsstands.

However, with the July issue our subscribers get a MOSAIK issue that you can't buy anywhere and that you get exclusively by subscribing! It is the 800th MOSAIK, counted from 1955 until today. 229 issues with the Digedags plus 571 issues with the Abrafaxe makes 800 MOSAIK issues in total!

The special thing about this issue is the cover art, which features dozens of companions from over 60 years of MOSAIK history. Every character has appeared in a MOSAIK! Now there's really something to look at and puzzle over.

With this elaborate extra, we would like to thank you for your years of loyalty and hope that you look forward to each new adventure of the Abrafaxe as much as we do!

PS: As an exception to our anniversary, it is possible for a limited period of time to sign up for a subscription retroactively from number 571 onwards - after all, we don't want to make anyone sad or angry ...

In the summer of 1521, half of Europe was searching for the Augustinian monk Martin Luther from Wittenberg by the Elbe. Will the Abrafaxe manage to keep him away from the clutches of the imperial henchmen?
At the same time, this anthology marks the start of our Hanseatic series. Our three heroes are transported to the beginning of the 15th century, where they hear about a gold treasure that was hidden by pirates many years ago. To find it, however, they need all four descendants of these pirates. For each of them only knows part of the story in order to finally reach the treasure.

Of course, there is also an extensive editorial appendix in this volume - with the following topics:

• "Wenn es am schönsten ist, ..."
• Unterwegs in der Hansezeit
• Figuren der Hanse-Serie
• Freud ...
• ... und Leid im Mittelalter
• Logo- und Titelskizzen

Our anthology-subscribers most likely already received their copies, since they were shipped last week.

Have fun reading and discovering!
