Tom Teufel

History

In the 80s Viktor Laffmeyer worked as screenwriter. Since the middle of the 80s, he had been planning to make his own film. However, he hadn't really had an idea what the film was about. He probably had the idea for Tom Teufel sometime in 1989. After Laffmeyer further expanded the character and its universe, he finally planned to make a film about Tom Teufel. Laffmeyer had worked on the script for a total of 2 years. Finally, in 1992, he sent the script to various film studios. However, no film studio was interested in his script. Laffmeyer still didn't want to give up the figure. So he finally had the idea to publish Tom Teufel as a comic. It took Laffmeyer a year to get a perfect drawing style. In 1994 he sent his comics to various comic publishers. Only BAUM Verlag was interested in Tom Teufel. Finally, the first edition appeared in October 1995.
