King

King (1964, Normic Press) is a four-issue painted comic series that stands as a singular, atmospheric experiment from the mid-1960s. Its most frequent artist is remembered for a lush, painterly style that gives the book a moody, almost fine-art feel, distinct from the typical superhero fare of the era. Though brief, this series endures as a cult touchstone for its unique visual approach and its place in Normic Press's eclectic catalog.
