Superangst

Gunnar Krantz’s Superangst, a single-issue comic from Epix in 1993, is a self-contained meditation on the mundane anxieties of a superhero. Krantz both writes and draws this introspective one-shot, which strips away action-hero bravado to focus on the quiet, all-too-human fears that plague even the most powerful. It matters as a concise, early example of the deconstructive superhero genre, offering a poignant character study rather than a sprawling epic.
