Alraune

A dark fantasy series from German publisher Schwarzer Turm, Alraune ran for eight issues between 2000 and 2004, crafted primarily by writer Rochus Hahn and artist Toni Greis. The story follows a mysterious, otherworldly woman whose name evokes the legendary mandrake root, weaving a gothic, atmospheric tale of magic and haunting beauty. This compact, self-contained series stands as a distinctive entry in early-2000s European comics, showcasing Greis's lush, moody artwork and Hahn's skill with mythic, character-driven horror.
