Kabuki: Masks of the Noh

In the late 1990s, David Mack expanded his groundbreaking Kabuki mythos with this four-issue Caliber Press miniseries, which delves into the ritualistic and psychological masks worn by its characters. Illustrated primarily by Rick Mays and Dave Johnson, the story deepens the world of the shadowy Noh agency, exploring identity and performance through a visually striking, atmospheric lens. A key chapter in Mack’s larger narrative, this series matters for its experimental, art-forward approach to the espionage genre.
