Mutants and Misfits

Ken Kushner and Mike McCarthy’s Mutants and Misfits is a two-issue Silverline Comics series from 1987 that pairs an unlikely team of outsiders against a world that fears them. Though brief, the book stands as a compact, character-driven snapshot of late-80s indie superheroics, exploring themes of prejudice and found family through Kushner’s lean scripting and McCarthy’s expressive, era-appropriate art.
