Black Death

In the plague-ravaged landscape of 14th-century Europe, Black Death (2014–2016, Edizioni Inkiostro) reimagines the historical pandemic as a supernatural horror, where the Black Death is not merely disease but a malevolent entity. Over four issues, this Italian miniseries from Edizioni Inkiostro blends grim historical fiction with visceral fantasy, following a small band of survivors as they confront horrors both human and otherworldly. The series is notable for its atmospheric, painted artwork and its unflinching take on a period already steeped in dread, offering a fresh, darkly imaginative lens on one of history’s most devastating events.
