About the series
In the near-future landscape of a second American Civil War, DMZ drops readers into a demilitarized zone: the island of Manhattan, cut off from the rest of the country. Published by DC's Vertigo imprint from 2006 to 2012, this 72-issue series follows a young journalist navigating the treacherous, war-torn city as its only neutral observer. Brian Wood wrote the entire run, with his gritty, humanistic vision brought to life by artists Riccardo Burchielli, Nathan Fox, and Wood himself. A defining work of 2000s political comics, DMZ matters for its unflinching, street-level look at war, media, and survival in a broken America.
