Liquor & Cigarette

In the crime-infested underbelly of a neon-lit city, Liquor & Cigarette (2019–present, Carlsen Comics) follows a stoic yakuza enforcer and a sharp-tongued bartender as their uneasy alliance deepens into something more. Published in Germany and anchored by the stylish, atmospheric art of Ranmaru Zariya, this single-issue comic explores loyalty, violence, and quiet connection through a taut, noir-tinged lens.
