About the series
Overman, a five-issue miniseries from Image published in 2007–2008, reimagines the Superman archetype through a European lens. Written and illustrated by a single creative voice, it follows a Soviet-era superhuman as he navigates a world of Cold War tensions and personal tragedy. Starkly beautiful art and a melancholic tone set this series apart, exploring the burden of godlike power in a morally gray landscape. It stands as a thoughtful, self-contained meditation on heroism and ideology from a creator-driven imprint.
