A.K.A. Goldfish

In the mid-1990s, Brian Michael Bendis wrote and painted this five-issue neo-noir crime series for Caliber Press, showcasing his early signature style of dense dialogue and moody, collage-infused artwork. It follows a down-on-his-luck private eye whose traumatic past leaves him a blank slate, navigating a gritty urban underworld where nothing is as it seems. A.K.A. Goldfish stands as a formative, raw precursor to Bendis's later acclaimed work, capturing the raw energy and experimental storytelling that would define his career.
