The Collector: Unit 731

In 2022, Dark Horse launched The Collector: Unit 731, a four-issue miniseries by writer Rod Monteiro and artist Will Conrad. The story follows a collector of historical artifacts who becomes entangled with the dark legacy of Japan's World War II Unit 731, blending horror and historical thriller elements. Conrad’s detailed, moody artwork grounds the series in a palpable sense of dread, while Monteiro’s script mines the real-world atrocities for a chilling, morally complex narrative. It’s a stark, thought-provoking entry in Dark Horse’s line of mature, history-infused comics.
