Paragon

In the gritty, independent world of Paragon Comic, Paragon (2005–2023) ran for 32 issues, offering a long-form, creator-driven saga that defined the publisher's early identity. The series is most associated with its writer/artist team, who built a self-contained universe of morally complex heroes and shadowy conspiracies. It matters as a landmark of modern indie comics, showcasing how a focused, uninterrupted run could build a cult following and critical respect without the big two's corporate constraints.
