King of the Dead

From 1994 to 1995, FantaCo Enterprises published King of the Dead, a five-issue comic series that reimagines the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Set as a contemporary horror antihero. Written and illustrated by a small creative team, the series blends dark fantasy with gritty urban mythology, following Set's struggle to reclaim his power in a world that has forgotten the old gods. Though brief, it stands as a cult oddity from the independent press, notable for its ambitious, moody take on immortal royalty and the decaying modern landscape.
