Die schwarze Flamme

In the ongoing German comic series Die schwarze Flamme (2022–present, Bahoe Books), illustrator Zoran Smiljanić brings a stark, atmospheric vision to a single issue that stands as a standalone narrative. The series, rooted in the European tradition of graphic storytelling, explores a moody, noir-tinged world where its central mystery unfolds through Smiljanić's distinctive, shadow-laden art. As a debut, it marks a notable entry in Bahoe Books' catalog, showcasing the publisher's commitment to auteur-driven, visually striking comics.
