Midnight Men

Howard Chaykin wrote and drew all four issues of this short-lived 1993 Marvel series, a gritty, revisionist take on masked vigilantes. The story follows a group of costumed heroes from the 1930s and '40s, now aging and compromised, as they confront the changing world and their own dark secrets. Chaykin's signature cynical, hard-edged style and his fascination with the seedy underbelly of heroism make this a distinctive, cult-classic Marvel project.
