About the series
Warren Ellis and Randy Green’s Sword of Damocles is a taut, two-issue Image Comics thriller from 1996, exploring the high-stakes tension of a world held hostage by an unthinkable technological threat. The series distills Ellis’s signature blend of speculative dread and sharp dialogue, with Green’s detailed, kinetic art grounding the narrative in a gritty, near-future reality. Though brief, it stands as a concise, potent example of late-’90s Image storytelling, capturing the era’s fascination with the dark potential of emerging tech.
