Girl

In this short-lived but striking series from the early 2000s, writer and artist Peter Milligan and Duncan Fegredo crafted a darkly surreal meditation on identity and transformation. Published by Vertigo, Girl follows a young woman whose life is upended after a bizarre encounter with a mysterious, shape-shifting entity, forcing her to confront the fluid nature of self. Though only three issues long, the series is remembered for its moody, psychological depth and Fegredo's hauntingly expressive artwork. It stands as a compact, thought-provoking artifact of Vertigo's willingness to explore strange, intimate corners of the human experience.
