Der König von Bangkok

A taut, politically charged crime thriller from Bahoe Books, Der König von Bangkok launched in 2025 as a single-issue comic that plunges into the shadowy underworld of Thailand's capital. The narrative, crafted by a creative team steeped in noir sensibilities, follows a power struggle for control of Bangkok's criminal empire, blending hardboiled intrigue with the city's unique cultural landscape. Though only one issue deep, the series has already established itself as a sharp, atmospheric entry in European crime comics, offering a gritty, cinematic take on organized crime far from the usual American or European settings. Its significance lies in its bold, self-contained storytelling and its willingness to explore a rarely depicted corner of the global underworld.
