About the series
Sam Kieth’s seminal ’90s series returns in a fully remastered, recolored edition from IDW, running for seven issues between 2014 and 2016. This re-presentation restores the original story of a hulking, purple-clad protector and his social worker friend, Julie, as they navigate the dreamlike Outback and the harsh realities of the real world. Kieth’s lush, painterly art and emotionally raw storytelling are given new vibrancy here, making this the definitive way to experience a landmark work of psychological superhero comics.
