Dead End

Thomas Ott’s Dead End is a wordless, black-and-white horror comic from Edition Moderne, launched in 1996. Over a single, densely illustrated issue, Ott crafts a grim, atmospheric journey through a surreal underworld, rendered in his signature scratchboard style. The series stands as a stark, haunting example of European graphic storytelling, showcasing Ott’s mastery of visual narrative without a single line of dialogue.
