Alichino

In this haunting 2004–2005 German-published miniseries from Carlsen Comics, writer-artist Kouyu Shurei crafts a dark fantasy where a young man encounters an Alichino—a creature that grants wishes at a terrible price. Over its three-issue run, the story explores the seductive, dangerous nature of desire and the cost of getting what you ask for. Shurei’s lush, ethereal artwork brings a dreamlike menace to this compact, atmospheric tale.
