About the series
Over eight issues from 1988 to 1989, Marvel’s St. George reimagined the dragon-slaying legend as a modern, sci-fi-tinged superhero saga, with a creative team that included writers D. G. Chichester, Margaret Clark, and Dwayne McDuffie, and artists Klaus Janson, Dan Spiegle, and an early-career Jim Lee. The series follows a man imbued with the power of the mythical saint, battling a monstrous, otherworldly foe in a gritty urban setting. Though short-lived, it stands as a curious Marvel experiment, blending mythic archetypes with late-’80s comic-book sensibilities and showcasing rising talents before their major breakthroughs.
