Kwaïdan

Published by Dark Horse in 2004, Kwaïdan is a single-issue comic that adapts classic Japanese ghost stories into a graphic-novel format. Translator Helge Dascher and writer Jee-Yun join artist Jung in bringing these eerie, atmospheric tales to English-language readers, with Jung's evocative artwork capturing the haunting beauty of traditional folklore. Though brief, this one-shot stands as a distinctive entry in Dark Horse's catalog for its focused, respectful treatment of supernatural Japanese narratives.
