About the series
In the mid-2000s, DC Comics published Sleeper, a taut four-issue miniseries from the acclaimed team of writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips. This tightly wound espionage thriller follows an undercover agent who has been so deeply embedded in a criminal organization that his own handlers have lost track of him, blurring the lines between hero and villain. A masterclass in noir-infused superhero storytelling, Sleeper solidified Brubaker and Phillips as a definitive creative duo and remains a standout example of mature, character-driven crime comics within the DC Universe.
