In this illustrated adaptation of Kafka’s The Castle, a lone outsider arrives in a snow-swept village overshadowed by a distant fortress whose officials control every breath of life below. What begins as a simple quest for permission spirals into a labyrinth of shifting corridors, contradictory rules, unreadable letters, and faceless authorities who seem to exist everywhere and nowhere. Rendered in stark, dreamlike panels, the comic plunges the reader into a world where logic dissolves, identity blurs, and every attempt to reach the Castle pulls the protagonist deeper into a haunting maze of bureaucracy and existential fear. A dark, visual descent into powerlessness — beautiful, terrifying, and unforgettable.
