About the series
Mark Wheatley and Marc Hempel’s four-issue DC miniseries from 1990 presents a taut, character-driven sci-fi thriller set in a dystopian near-future. The story follows a man whose desperate, high-stakes race against time is complicated by a mysterious woman with a deadly secret that could change everything. With Hempel’s stark, expressive artwork and Wheatley’s lean, propulsive plotting, Breathtaker remains a cult-classic example of early-’90s creator-owned storytelling at DC.
