Jack Staff: Yesterday's Heroes

A single-issue debut from Dancing Elephant Press in 2002, Jack Staff: Yesterday's Heroes introduces a British superhero universe with a distinctly retro, newspaper-strip feel. Written and illustrated by Paul Grist, the issue sets the stage for a world where a costumed hero from a bygone era resurfaces in modern-day England. Though brief, this launch laid the groundwork for Grist's acclaimed, self-contained superhero saga.
