Rampokan

In the colonial twilight of 1940s Java, Rampokan (2018–present, Dupuis) follows a young Dutch soldier as he confronts the brutal realities of Indonesia's struggle for independence. This two-issue series, anchored by artist Paul van Dongen's evocative work, explores the clash between personal duty and the chaos of a crumbling empire. A quietly powerful historical drama, it matters for its unflinching look at a seldom-seen chapter of post-war conflict in comics.
