Manos

In the mid-1980s, German publisher Bastei Verlag launched Manos, a 35-issue series that blended supernatural horror with gritty crime drama. Most frequently written by Peter Mennigen and illustrated by a rotating team of artists including Antonio Correa, Ertugrul Edirne, and Carlos Torrente, the series follows a mysterious, vengeance-driven protagonist navigating a shadowy underworld. Manos stands as a distinctive entry in European genre comics, combining pulp-style storytelling with atmospheric European artwork.
