Phathom

Blatant Comics launched Phathom in 1999 with a single issue, introducing a dark, underwater world of intrigue and power. The series, primarily associated with writer/artist Michael Turner, established a distinctive visual style and a mysterious heroine navigating a hidden society beneath the waves. Though its initial run was brief, Phathom became a notable entry in the late-1990s indie comics boom, remembered for its striking aquatic aesthetic and the creative vision of its co-creator.
