Graves

Emerging from Image Comics' bold early-'90s creative explosion, Graves made their debut in Supreme #7 in 1993, brought to life by Eric Stephenson, Kurt Hathaway, and Shawn McManus. This Copper/Modern Age figure carved out a niche across a tight but notable run of titles — Supreme, Brigade, and Extreme Sacrifice Epilogue — rubbing shoulders with the likes of Chapel, Combat, and Bartholomew J. Troll in the rough-and-tumble corners of the Image universe. With 13 catalog appearances and at least one collector-recognized key issue to their name, Graves is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that rewards fans who dig past the headliners into the vivid, energetic margins of '90s comics.
