Carlsen Verlag was founded by Danish publisher Per Carlsen in 1953, as a German subsidiary to Forlaget Carlsen in Denmark.
Per Carlsen introduced the successful brands „Petzi“ and „Pixi“ into the German market. Especially Pixi, the small softcover picture books, proved to be hugely successful, up to today.
Carlsen had started as a children’s and YA publisher, and has become so much more over the past decades:
Since 1967, we publish comic books (starting with „Tintin“ by Hergé), and in 1997, Carlsen launched a list of Japanese Manga, with Akira Toriyama’s classic „Dragon Ball“ which has been complemented with books by German Mangaka.
In 2007, Nelson Verlag became part of Carlsen, with a huge list of trending topics from TV and the international licensing scene.
Since 2015, Carlsen bolstered up its humour book lists for adults in including Lappan publishing house. Here one can find Ralph Ruthe with his famous „Shit Happens“ cartoons as well as Uli Stein and other prestigious authors and comedians.
