Black Orchid: The Deluxe Edition #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis deluxe hardcover collects the complete 1988-1989 Black Orchid miniseries by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean, reimagining the obscure DC character as a hybrid of plant and human. The story follows a murdered woman reborn as the Black Orchid, seeking justice and uncovering secrets that tie her to Swamp Thing and the wider DC Universe. This edition also includes the original Black Orchid stories from Adventure Comics #428-430 and a new introduction by Gaiman.
In this striking deluxe edition, Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean deliver a haunting tale where Black Orchid’s secret mission ends in tragedy—only for a new Black Orchid to awaken at Dr. Sylvian’s home. As Carl Thorne walks free from prison, his return sets off a chilling confrontation with the scientist who once shaped her. The story’s moody, surreal art by McKean—pencils, inks, and colors all his own—perfectly captures the eerie, dreamlike tension of a legacy reborn.
In "null," Black Orchid’s cover is blown and she falls in battle, only for a new Black Orchid to awaken at Dr. Sylvian’s home—unaware of her past or purpose. As Carl Thorne walks free from prison, his return sets a deadly course toward the house where the mystery of the new Black Orchid begins.
