Dr. Ashura

Dr. Ashura, a compact three-issue series from Komikku Éditions that launched in 2017, is a taut, self-contained horror comic built around a single, chilling premise. The story follows its enigmatic title character, a scientist whose research into cellular regeneration takes a dark and monstrous turn. While the series is brief, it’s a standout for its atmospheric, European-style storytelling and its unflinching focus on body horror and scientific hubris. It matters as a concise, impactful example of how a limited-run comic can deliver a complete and unsettling narrative without overstaying its welcome.
