Darker Than Black

A two-issue miniseries published by Panini Deutschland in 2008–2009, Darker Than Black adapts the acclaimed anime of the same name into a compact comic format. The story follows a mysterious operative known as Hei, one of many "Contractors"—humans who have gained supernatural abilities at the cost of their emotions—as he navigates a shadowy world of espionage and cosmic phenomena. While a short run, it offers a faithful, visually-driven entry point for German readers into the series' signature blend of noir intrigue and superpowered action.
