Kabuki

David Mack's Kabuki series, published by Panini France from 2002 to 2004, collects three issues of his acclaimed, painterly saga. The story follows a disfigured Japanese government assassin who questions her loyalty and identity, blending espionage with deeply personal, avant-garde storytelling. Mack's singular, mixed-media art—combining watercolors, collage, and calligraphy—makes this a visually groundbreaking work that redefined the possibilities of the comic book medium.
