About the series
A sly, sexy espionage comedy from DC's early-2000s lineup, Codename: Knockout follows the globe-trotting adventures of a flamboyant super-spy and her handler through 24 issues of high-fashion action and playful parody. Writer Robert Rodi steered the series with a sharp, witty voice, while artists Louis Small Jr., Yanick Paquette, and Amanda Conner traded off on the stylish, kinetic visuals. It stands out as a bold, tongue-in-cheek take on the spy genre, blending campy charm with a knowing wink.
