About the series
In the early 2000s, DC's WildStorm imprint published Sleeper, a taut 12-issue espionage noir from the acclaimed team of writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips. The series follows an undercover agent embedded in a criminal organization, his cover complicated by a mysterious power that makes him invaluable to both sides. With its gritty, morally complex storytelling and Phillips' shadow-drenched visuals, Sleeper stands as a seminal work that helped define the modern crime comic.
