About the series
Warren Ellis and John Cassaday's Planetary ran from 2001 to 2010 under DC's WildStorm imprint. This four-issue series follows a team of "archeologists of the unknown" who investigate the hidden history of the 20th century's secret science and superheroes. Cassaday's lush, cinematic art and Ellis's dense, inventive plotting create a sweeping, genre-spanning mystery that recontextualizes pop culture's greatest icons. It remains a landmark of modern comics for its ambitious, interconnected take on the secret origins of the modern world.
