Undertaker

Chaos! Comics launched this 11-issue series in 1999, bringing the WWE’s legendary Undertaker to the supernatural side of the ring. Written primarily by Beau Smith and Matt Brady with art by Manny Clark, it pits the Deadman and his manager Paul Bearer against a rogues’ gallery that includes his brother Kane, the undead Embalmer, and the mysterious Augustus. A gritty, horror-infused take on the wrestling icon, it stands as a key artifact of the late-’90s comic boom’s fascination with licensed antiheroes.
