Billy Bat

American-Japanese comic artist Kevin Yamagata discovers his popular "Billy Bat" character may have been unconsciously plagiarized from a mysterious source. His investigation spirals into a globe-trotting conspiracy spanning from 1940s Tokyo to 1960s America, connecting to real historical events through the recurring bat motif. This metafictional masterpiece by the creator of Monster explores the blurred lines between art, reality, and collective unconscious through its eponymous cartoon bat that appears to influence world events.
