when comic edition preQuel, founded by jörg vogeltanz had produced its first publication (wie im richtigen leben) in 2001 and added anger diary#1 to the short list in 2002 no one expected preQuel to live a long life. but thanks to financial support by the federal government of styria and city of graz, writers and artworkers with a strong will to exploit themselves for the sake of excellent results as well as fructifying cooperations preQuel was able to produce several high-quality products in the field of the sequential arts. to expand the fields of activity the former edition preQuel was re-structured in 2009 into edition preQuel - non-profit association for supporting, publishment and distribution of comics, graphic novels and other media by the prequel core-team (jörg vogeltanz, thomas ballhausen, claudia vogeltanz).

preQuel's successful graphic novel-series, the Anger Diaries, as a part of a cross media epic project about a sinister secret time- and world-dominating society called "sheng", were created by Jörg Vogeltanz, A. Heimo Sver and Mario Schwarzl in 1998. the diaries are based on the memories of john f. sebastian, a deranged sheng-hitman.

"Vogeltanz offers a fully mature and relentlessly explicit drawing style in order to illuminate the most degraded sites in this world: his exuberant page compositions are bathed in bright colors; his backgrounds threaten to engulf the single images or allow them to appear briefly, emerging on the visible page surfaces. A visually exhilarating reading experience."
