About the series
Neil Gaiman and artist Dave McKean, joined by Dunia Gras, brought this haunting three-issue miniseries to Zinco in 1990. It reimagines the classic DC character as a tragic, plant-like being caught between corporate intrigue and personal transformation. McKean’s painterly, surreal visuals and Gaiman’s poetic, mythic storytelling make it a landmark of the late-’80s/early-’90s Vertigo era, though published here under the Zinco imprint. A lush, melancholy meditation on identity and nature, it remains a cult touchstone for its daring, art-house approach to superhero comics.
