About the series
From 1986 to 1990, First Comics published Whisper, a gritty espionage series following the exploits of a female intelligence operative. Primarily written by Steven Grant and Rick Oliver, the book was defined by its moody, kinetic art from a rotating team including Spyder, Vince Giarrano, and Steve Epting. It stood out in the late-80s independent comics boom for its grounded, morally complex take on spycraft, offering a sharp alternative to the capes-and-cowboys norm of the era.
