Flaxen: Alter Ego

James Hudnall writes and Brian Michael Bendis illustrates this Caliber Press one-shot from 1995, a moody character study that peels back the layers of a superhero's secret identity. Rather than a caped adventure, the issue focuses on the psychological tension between the public face and the private self. It stands as an early example of Bendis's distinctive, dialogue-driven storytelling before his rise to mainstream prominence.
