Spanish writer and artist Agustín Ferrer Casas created a graphic novel on 20th-century modernist architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe which also features a prologue written by British architect Norman Foster.

In a Blogpost, Casas wrote, “It is a fictional biography of his life, based on numerous writings by many other authors and Mies himself,”. In the comic, Casas illustrates key moments in the architect’s life, some of which are designed to be larger than life, alongside some of his most famous buildings. It does not claim to be a biography.
