About the series
From 2016 to 2017, NBM published this two-issue comic series that reimagines a forgotten 1940s steam-powered hero through the lens of Neil Gaiman's original concept. Written primarily by James Vance and Rick Veitch, with art by Bryan Talbot and Ted Slampyak, the story updates Mr. Hero—a man transformed into a living steam engine—for a modern audience while honoring the character's pulp roots. It matters as a thoughtful, creator-driven revival that blends retro charm with contemporary storytelling.
