Hieroglyph

Ricardo Delgado’s Hieroglyph (1999–2000, Dark Horse) is a four-issue comics series that blends ancient Egyptian mythology with science fiction. Written and fully painted by Delgado, it follows a lone survivor in a dying world, exploring themes of memory and renewal through striking, atmospheric artwork. This short but visually ambitious run stands out as a showcase for Delgado’s singular, painterly style within the creator-owned landscape of the late 1990s.
