Auf in den Heldentod!

In Auf in den Heldentod! (2019–present, Reprodukt), legendary Japanese cartoonist Shigeru Mizuki delivers a singular, standalone work that distills his lifelong fascination with war, folklore, and the supernatural. This single-issue comic, published posthumously in Germany, presents a compact yet potent tale where ordinary men march toward a grim fate, blending Mizuki's signature folkloric monsters with the stark reality of conflict. Though brief, it stands as a poignant coda to the career of a master, offering a concise entry point into his unique fusion of history and yokai.
