Mage

Matt Wagner's Mage is a singular, creator-owned fantasy epic published by Comico in the mid-1980s. Over its 15-issue run, Wagner both wrote and illustrated the story of Kevin Matchstick, a modern-day everyman who discovers he is a reincarnated hero destined to battle ancient evil in a contemporary American landscape. Blending Arthurian legend with street-level urban fantasy and Wagner's clean, expressive art, the series stands as a landmark of independent comics storytelling.
