About the series
A one-issue British comic from Harrier in 1987, Captain Oblivion was a solo creation by writer/artist Glenn Dakin, introducing a character whose very name suggests a deadpan, absurdist take on the superhero genre. Its brief, singular publication makes it a curious footnote in the small-press boom of the era, a quirky artifact from a creator who would go on to define a certain offbeat, melancholic humor in British comics.
