The Umbrella Academy

From 2009 onward, Norma Editorial published The Umbrella Academy, a four-issue comic series that reimagines the superhero genre through a darkly whimsical lens. Best known for the creative partnership of writer Gerard Way and artist Gabriel Bá, the series follows a dysfunctional family of adopted, superpowered siblings who reunite after their enigmatic father’s death. Its offbeat tone, blending surreal humor with emotional depth, helped establish it as a distinctive cult favorite in modern comics.
