About the series
In 2007, Marvel resurrected a cult-favorite 1970s concept for a ten-issue series that reimagines the story of a mute, amnesiac boy with strange powers and the armored, enigmatic hero who shares his name. Written by Jonathan Lethem, Karl Rusnak, and original co-creator Mary Skrenes, with art by Farel Dalrymple, Gary Panter, and Paul Hornschemeier, this run blends street-level grit with surreal, experimental visuals. It stands as a thoughtful, literary take on superhero tropes, exploring identity and alienation through a fragmented, dreamlike narrative that honors the original's offbeat spirit.
