Sonnenstein

From 2015 to 2018, Panini Deutschland published Sonnenstein, a six-issue German comic series that blends psychological horror with a stark, rural setting. The story follows a young woman who returns to her isolated hometown, only to find its inhabitants haunted by a dark, ancient presence tied to the local sun-bleached landscape. Created by writer and artist Christian Schäfer, the series is noted for its atmospheric, minimalist art and slow-burn dread, earning a cult following among European horror comics fans for its quiet, unsettling take on folk horror.
