Wolfsmund

In the brutal alpine pass of Wolfsmund, a medieval fortress serves as the tyrannical gatekeeper between the Swiss Confederacy and the Duchy of Austria during the 14th century. This eight-issue historical horror series from Vertical, written and illustrated by Mitsuhisa Kuji, follows the relentless cruelty of the fortress's warden as he crushes rebels, travelers, and anyone who dares defy his iron rule. Known for its stark, visceral storytelling and grim atmosphere, Wolfsmund is a stark examination of oppression and resistance, drawing on real Swiss folklore and history to deliver a tense, unflinching narrative.
