Prometheus' Gift

In Steve Lafler's sole-issue series for Cat-Head Comics, Prometheus' Gift (1992–present) offers a singular, self-contained vision from the artist-writer, whose signature style defines its quirky, independent spirit. Lafler's lone issue distills a premise of mythic proportions into a compact, idiosyncratic tale, marking a distinctive artifact from the early '90s alternative comics scene. While only one issue was published, its open-ended "present" status hints at a world left tantalizingly unexplored.
