Kosaken

A taut, two-issue historical comic from Germany's Splitter Verlag, Kosaken (2023–present) drops readers into the brutal Eastern Front of World War II, focusing on the complex and often overlooked story of Cossack soldiers fighting alongside the German forces. The series is defined by its unflinching, grey-morality approach to a controversial chapter of the war, rendered with stark, detailed art that captures the grim atmosphere of the conflict. Though still in its early run, it has already established itself as a significant, research-driven work that challenges simplistic narratives of heroism and villainy in wartime.
