Mike Deodato's Protheus

Mike Deodato Jr.’s Protheus is a two-issue Caliber Press series from 1996, a dark science-fiction thriller co-written by Julio E. Braz and Scott Rockwell. Deodato’s own moody, detailed artwork brings to life a nameless, monstrous creature who escapes a secret laboratory to confront a world that fears and hunts him. A stark, early showcase of Deodato’s signature style before his mainstream fame, it stands as a cult artifact of ’90s independent horror comics.
