Homunculus

A modern German reimagining of the classic alchemical myth, Homunculus (2023–present, Egmont Ehapa) follows a brilliant but reclusive scientist who succeeds in creating artificial life, only to find his creation developing a will—and a hunger—of its own. Over the course of its initial 10-issue run, the series blends body horror with philosophical questions about what it means to be human, anchored by the unsettling, detailed artwork of its primary creative team. It stands as a notable entry in contemporary European horror comics, offering a fresh, grim take on a centuries-old story.
