Okko

In the shadow of a floating fortress and across a feudal Japan reimagined with steam and sorcery, Okko follows a disgraced kabuki actor turned demon-hunter and his misfit band of companions. Published by Carlsen Comics from 2006 to 2017 across five issues, this German comic series blends samurai drama with dark fantasy, anchored by the storytelling of Martin Budde, Harald Sachse, and Hub, with Hub and Emmanuel Michalak bringing its intricate, atmospheric world to life. A cult favorite for its lush art and unique fusion of cultural mythologies, Okko stands as a distinctive, self-contained epic that rewards patient readers.
