About the series
In this 2008–2009 Image Comics miniseries, writer Phil Hester and artist Brook Turner craft a five-issue tale of a struggling cartoonist who discovers his forgotten childhood creation, a cheerful superhero named Golly, has somehow become real—and is now living a mundane, unhappy life in the real world. The series explores the bittersweet consequences of nostalgia and the collision between imagination and reality, with Turner’s expressive artwork bringing both the cartoonish hero and the gritty human world to vivid life. A thoughtful, offbeat meditation on creativity and growing up, Golly! stands as a quietly memorable indie gem from the late 2000s.
