Mirage

Bursting onto the scene in 1998's Deadpool #0 — a key debut issue brought to life by the legendary Joe Kelly and artist Yancey Labat — Mirage is a Marvel creation born right at the dawn of the Modern Age. Though their catalog footprint is compact, the company they keep is anything but ordinary: these are pages shared with the likes of Bucky, Blind Al, and Porcupine, deep in the gloriously chaotic world of Deadpool's early adventures. Collected across Joe Kelly's celebrated Complete Collection and the Epic Collection volumes, Mirage is a genuine piece of comics history for anyone who loves that irreverent, boundary-pushing era that made the Merc with a Mouth a legend — a rare find for the dedicated collector hunting every corner of that wild original run.
