A.K.A. Goldfish

A.K.A. Goldfish, launched by Caliber Press in 1996, is a single-issue comic that introduces a noir-tinged world of crime and betrayal. The series is most associated with writer and artist Brian Michael Bendis, whose distinctive, cinematic storytelling and expressive artwork define its gritty, dialogue-driven atmosphere. Though brief in its original run, this debut issue is a key early example of Bendis’s signature style, marking a formative step in the creator’s career before his later major works.
