Zagor Collana Darkwood

A modern revival of the classic Italian western-horror series, Zagor Collana Darkwood (2018–present) from Sergio Bonelli Editore is a six-issue miniseries that returns the Spirit of the Forest to his eerie, supernatural roots. Written by Jacopo Rauch and illustrated by a rotating team of artists including Alessandro Bignamini, it strips away the more fantastical elements to focus on a tighter, more atmospheric horror story set in the dark woods of Darkwood. This series matters as a deliberate, focused reimagining of a beloved character, emphasizing mood and folklore over sprawling adventure.
