About the series
A sprawling, globe-trotting mystery from the mind of Naoki Urasawa, Billy Bat follows a Japanese-American cartoonist who discovers his popular comic-book creation—a bat detective—may be a centuries-old, reality-shifting symbol appearing across history. Published by Kōdansha from 2009 to 2016, this 20-issue series, co-written with Takashi Nagasaki and drawn by Urasawa, weaves a complex conspiracy involving ninjas, NASA, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It matters as a masterful, genre-bending thriller that explores the power of images and the nature of truth itself.
