DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection #94

"Es war einmal..." presents a dark, reimagined take on the superhero landscape, where the fallout of Ronald Reagan’s policies has driven many heroes underground or disbanded entire teams like the Justice League. With Brimstone released and the Suicide Squad poised to confront him, tensions rise as Godfrey exploits the public’s growing distrust of costumed vigilantes. Written by John Ostrander, Christian Heiß, and Len Wein, and brought to life with bold art by John Byrne—inked by Karl Kesel and colored by Tom Ziuko—this story blends political unease with high-stakes action. The cover, also by John Byrne, captures the grim intensity of a world where heroism is under siege.
