Dragon Head

In the early 2000s, Magic Press published the English-language edition of Dragon Head, a six-issue manga series that plunges into a harrowing survival story after a catastrophic train derailment leaves a group of teenagers stranded in a post-apocalyptic Japan. Known for its claustrophobic tension and psychological horror, the series is most associated with creator Minetaro Mochizuki, whose stark, atmospheric art amplifies the dread of a world unraveling. Though a compact run, Dragon Head stands as a stark, unsettling exploration of human resilience and paranoia, earning a reputation as a cult classic in the horror manga genre.
