Dan the Unharmable

In the grim world of Avatar Press, Dan the Unharmable (2013–present) presents a lean, two-issue series centered on a protagonist who can't be harmed—a premise that twists the superhero genre into a brutal, existential meditation. Written by David Lapham, the story follows a man whose invulnerability becomes a curse, forcing him to navigate a violent, morally murky landscape where his only power is to endure. The series stands as a stark, philosophical outlier in Lapham's body of work, offering a concise but potent exploration of pain and resilience.
