Epix #8/1985

"Slav under nålen" marks a standout moment in the Epix series, with Jaime and Mario Hernandez delivering a grounded yet surreal tale centered on Maggie Chascarillo’s unexpected journey. When Maggie accidentally frees the supervillain Maniakk, her search for the hero Ultimax leads to an unlikely alliance—and a new role as his sidekick—set against the series’ signature blend of everyday life and superhero absurdity. The story is illustrated and inked by Jaime Hernandez, whose expressive art brings the world to life, with the cover also by him.
