Desire © Max

In the late 2000s, German publisher Egmont Ehapa released this seven-issue miniseries, a darkly sensual fantasy tale that explores the dangerous nature of unchecked longing. Written and illustrated by the creator known as Max, Desire weaves a moody, introspective narrative driven by its evocative, painterly art. Though brief, the series stands as a distinctive example of European adult-oriented comics, offering a mature, atmospheric meditation on its central theme.
