Orchid

From 2011 to 2013, Dark Horse published Orchid, a 12-issue series written by Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello. With artist Scott Hepburn, this post-apocalyptic saga follows a young prostitute named Orchid who becomes a key figure in a rebellion against a tyrannical global regime. Morello’s blend of punk-rock energy and dystopian sci-fi, paired with Hepburn’s kinetic, expressive art, gives the series a raw, rebellious spirit that stands apart from typical Dark Horse fare. It’s a politically charged, action-driven story from a musician-turned-comics-writer that matters for its unapologetic voice and striking visual world-building.
