About the series
In the early 2000s, Alan Moore and Peter Hogan teamed with artist Yanick Paquette for this six-issue DC series, which resurrected and reimagined a forgotten stable of Golden Age heroes from the defunct publisher Nedor Comics. The story follows a team of retired, aging adventurers who are drawn back into action when a mysterious threat endangers their world, exploring themes of legacy and sacrifice. This series matters as a loving, revisionist tribute to pre-Superhero comic book archetypes, showcasing Moore's talent for breathing new life into obscure characters.
