Kamikaze: 1946

In this six-issue miniseries from Antarctic Press (2000–2001), writer/artist Nomura Shingo reimagines a post-World War II Japan where the war never ended, crafting a gritty alternate-history saga of aerial combat and survival. The series follows a lone kamikaze pilot navigating a devastated landscape, blending historical echoes with speculative fiction. Shingo’s stark, kinetic artwork and taut storytelling give the book a distinctive, personal vision that stands apart from typical war comics.
