About the series
From 1995 to the present, Image Comics' Riptide spans just two issues, a brief but potent burst of 1990s superhero energy. The series was shaped by the early Image collective, with writing from Eric Stephenson, Brent Braun, and Rob Liefeld, and art by Andy Park and Mark Pajarillo. It introduces a sprawling cast including Alan Keever, Alexander Graves, Battlestone, Deborah Konigsberg, John Annex Stone, and Leanna Creel, hinting at a larger, high-concept world that never fully unfurled. A curious artifact from Image's explosive early era, Riptide remains a footnote for fans of the publisher's original creator-owned experiments.
