Dragon Head

In the early 2000s, Panini Deutschland brought the acclaimed Japanese survival horror manga Dragon Head to German readers, translating the harrowing tale of a group of students navigating a post-apocalyptic Japan. Written and illustrated by Minetaro Mochizuki, this ten-issue series is celebrated for its unflinching psychological tension and stark, haunting artwork, exploring the fragility of civilization through the eyes of ordinary teenagers. Dragon Head stands as a landmark import for German comics, offering a mature, introspective take on disaster fiction that resonated deeply with its audience.
