About the series
In the late 1990s, DC Comics published this eight-issue series that reimagined the classic "Dial H for Hero" concept, centering on a new protagonist who could transform into a vast array of heroes by dialing a mysterious device. Written by Marv Wolfman with art from Shawn McManus and Sergio Cariello, the story follows a man who becomes the hero A-X, exploring the responsibilities and dangers of wielding such unpredictable power. This run stands out for its inventive, rotating roster of original superhero designs and its thoughtful take on identity and heroism.
