Billy Bat

Billy Bat, published by Planeta DeAgostini from 2011 to 2017, is a sprawling 20-issue mystery epic that follows an American comic book artist whose own creation—a bat-masked detective—begins to mirror a shadowy, centuries-spanning conspiracy. Blending historical figures, secret societies, and metafictional twists, the series explores the nature of truth and the power of images. Written and illustrated by a visionary duo, it’s a dense, ambitious work that stands as a landmark in modern manga-influenced storytelling.
