About the series
In this haunting three-issue prestige miniseries from DC, Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean reimagine a little-known Golden Age heroine as a fragile, plant-human hybrid seeking identity and redemption. Blending lyrical prose with McKean's dreamlike painted art, the story weaves through DC's superhero landscape with a quiet, elegiac tone that helped redefine what a mainstream comic could be. A landmark collaboration from the late 1980s, it remains a touchstone for mature, atmospheric storytelling.
