About the series
In this short-lived 1992–1993 series from Kardia Comics, writer Dan Yelovich and artist Mark McHaley present a modern reimagining of the Icarus myth, set against a gritty urban backdrop. Over its two-issue run, the story follows a young man who gains the power of flight—but at a devastating personal cost, exploring themes of ambition, hubris, and the price of reaching too high. Though brief, the series stands as a distinctive, indie-era take on classical tragedy, notable for McHaley's moody, expressive artwork and Yelovich's tight, character-driven script.
