Chunchu: The Genocide Fiend

In 2007–2008, Dark Horse published this three-issue miniseries, a brutal and politically charged horror story set during the Japanese occupation of Korea. Written by Youn Bin Choi and illustrated by Jae-Hwan Kim, it follows a young boy who makes a pact with a vengeful spirit to fight against the occupying forces. The series is notable for its unflinching blend of historical atrocity and supernatural revenge, offering a starkly adult perspective on colonial violence rarely seen in mainstream American comics. Its short, intense run makes it a potent artifact of cross-cultural storytelling from the late 2000s.
