Basilisk

In the mid-2000s, German publisher Heyne launched Basilisk, a five-issue miniseries that blends dark fantasy with political intrigue. The comic follows a secret society of supernaturally gifted individuals, known as Basilisks, who are bound by a pact to serve the powerful and corrupt. The series is notable for its atmospheric, moody art and its exploration of power, loyalty, and the cost of wielding extraordinary abilities. While a short run, Basilisk stands as a distinctive entry in European comics, offering a taut, self-contained story that rewards readers with its dense world-building.
