Nexus Archives

From 2006 to 2011, Dark Horse collected Mike Baron and Steve Rude’s acclaimed sci-fi epic in the Nexus Archives series, reprinting the saga of Horatio Hellpop, a man burdened with cosmic power and the grim duty of executing mass murderers across the galaxy. This twelve-volume run gathered the original stories that defined the 1980s independent comics movement, showcasing Baron’s sharp, morally complex writing and Rude’s dynamic, clean-lined artwork. A cornerstone of Dark Horse’s archival efforts, the series preserves the gritty, philosophical tone that made Nexus a landmark in creator-owned comics.
