Der Henker

In this taut three-issue miniseries from Splitter Verlag (2016–2019), a lone executioner navigates a grim, medieval-inspired world where his brutal trade forces him to confront the moral weight of his actions. Known for its stark, atmospheric art and spare storytelling, the series examines themes of justice, mercy, and the cost of violence through a single, unflinching perspective. It stands as a compact, character-driven work that lingers on the psychological toll of its protagonist’s role.
