Cage

Marvel’s 2002 Cage series is a gritty, five-issue miniseries that strips Luke Cage down to his urban roots, written by Brian Azzarello with visceral painted art by Richard Corben. Set in a noir-infused New York, it follows the unbreakable hero navigating a world of street-level crime and moral ambiguity far from the Avengers’ towers. This collaboration between two of comics’ most distinctive storytellers offers a raw, character-driven take on the Power Man, cementing its place as a cult-classic exploration of the man behind the steel skin.
