The Abyss

The Abyss is one of the bizarre hero identities accessed through the mysterious H-Dial in DC's Dial H, a series set in a corner of the DC universe where ordinary people temporarily transform into strange, unpredictable superheroes with each dial.

Born from the darkly imaginative mind of China Miéville, The Abyss emerged in the pages of DC's Dial H #1 in 2012 — one of the Modern Age's most inventive and offbeat series. Keeping strange company alongside the likes of Nelson Jent, Manteau, and Ex Nihilo, this character inhabits a corner of the DC universe where the weird and the wonderful collide. With only a handful of appearances, The Abyss is a rare, collector-worthy curiosity — the kind of deep-cut character that makes Dial H's short but beloved run so endlessly fascinating to dig into.
