Wolfsmund

In this dark historical epic from Italian publisher Edizioni BD, Wolfsmund (2012–2019) follows the brutal reign of a fortified Alpine pass during the 14th century, where a ruthless toll collector and his loyal guards enforce a tyrannical rule over travelers and locals alike. Spanning eight issues, the series is a tense, medieval thriller steeped in political intrigue and survival, most closely associated with writer and artist Mitsuhiro Kida. Its stark, atmospheric art and unflinching portrayal of power and resistance make it a standout for fans of grounded, character-driven historical fiction.
