Avigon

Che Gilson's Avigon, a 2000 Image Comics debut, is a singular, self-contained vision of a strange and fantastical world. Written and illustrated entirely by Gilson, this single issue introduces a richly detailed setting and a cast of characters, marking the beginning of a series that has remained a quiet, cult touchstone for fans of creator-owned fantasy. Its importance lies in its pure, unmediated expression of one artist's complete creative control, a hallmark of the Image ethos.
