Heroes

Across six issues from 1985 to 1988, Blackbird Comics' Heroes was a collaborative showcase for the talents of John Nordland II and Donny Jansen, who shared writing and art duties. The series presented a tightly focused, self-contained story that explored the nature of heroism through its ensemble cast. While a brief run, it stands as a notable example of creator-driven work from the mid-1980s, capturing a moment when comics increasingly turned toward more personal, character-driven narratives.
