About the series
A brutal, meticulously crafted historical epic from French publisher Ki-oon, Wolfsmund (2012–2017) chronicles the grim reign of a tyrannical border fortress in the Swiss Alps during the 14th century. Writer and artist Mitsuhisa Kuji builds a claustrophobic, medieval thriller around the fortress's ruthless warden, who crushes any who dare defy the Habsburg dukes. The series is notable for its unflinching violence, stark black-and-white art, and its exploration of resistance against oppression, earning it a reputation as a dark, gripping work that reframes the Swiss struggle for independence through a lens of horror and survival.
