The Black Diamond Effect

A long-running independent series from The Black Diamond Effect Inc., The Black Diamond Effect launched in 1990 and has since built a 19-issue legacy. Primarily written and illustrated by George Gatsis (also credited as George Peter Gatsis), the series is a singular vision of one creator's sustained storytelling. Its significance lies in its enduring, creator-owned presence outside the mainstream, demonstrating the viability of a self-published comic over decades.
