Publication of joint case study on AI-supported comic generation

None

In their case study published today, Black Forest Labs and BurdaVerlag demonstrate how artificial intelligence was successfully integrated into the production process of the popular LissyPony series and where it supports human creativity.

The partners illustrate that Black Forest Labs' image modelling combined with holistic process integration makes a real difference. They provide insights into the methodology, show challenges and solutions. The result will be published as part of a special issue of LissyPony magazine, which will be available in stores from 2 September 2025.


"Through our partnership with Black Forest Labs, we have jointly succeeded in defining a new level in the approach to using generative AI. Our goal was a repeatable and scalable process while maintaining a high standard of quality."

Rebecca Gottwald, COO BurdaVerlag


Burda plans to transfer the optimised comic creation process to other IPs. The aim is to simplify the method so that it becomes even more accessible to all colleagues. The case study can be found below in the download area.
