About the series
In 2004, DC Comics launched The Monolith, a 12-issue series from writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray. The story follows a modern-day cop who becomes linked to a massive, ancient golem-like being, blending crime noir with supernatural urban fantasy. Artists Phil Winslade, Tomm Coker, and Peter Snejbjerg brought the gritty, kinetic world to life, giving the title a distinct visual identity. It stands as a cult-favorite example of DC's willingness to experiment with genre-blending, character-driven storytelling in the mid-2000s.
