Black Orchid

In 1991, DC Comics published a single-issue prestige format story written by Neil Gaiman with painted art by Dave McKean, reimagining the obscure Golden Age heroine Black Orchid. The story follows the plant-like heroine as she investigates her own origins, crossing paths with Alec Holland from the Swamp Thing mythos. This lush, atmospheric graphic novel is remembered as a key early work by Gaiman and McKean, showcasing their signature blend of poetic storytelling and haunting visual design.
