About the series
In this 2003–2004 Marvel miniseries, writer Bruce Jones and artist Sean Phillips pull back the curtain on Wilson Fisk, exploring the Kingpin's criminal empire during a vulnerable period when he's stripped of his power and forced to navigate the streets of New York without his usual resources. The seven-issue run offers a gritty, character-driven look at the man behind the title, blending crime noir with superhero-adjacent tension. It's a compelling, understated portrait of a villain fighting to reclaim his throne, anchored by Phillips' moody, atmospheric art.
