狼口 [Wolfsmund]

Set in the treacherous 14th-century Swiss Alps, 狼口 [Wolfsmund] (2010–2021) is a dark historical thriller from 東立出版社 [Tong Li Publishing Co.] that follows the brutal toll-keeper of a mountain pass who exacts merciless tolls—in gold or blood. Across its 7-issue run, the series builds a grim, survivalist world where travelers face impossible choices at the Wolfsmund gate, with its creator weaving a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere that makes every page feel like a trap. It matters as a taut, morally complex work that uses history to explore power, cruelty, and the human cost of tyranny.
