The Atheist

Phil Hester and Will Volley launched The Atheist for Desperado Publishing in 2007, a single-issue comic that reimagines a familiar archetype through a skeptical lens. Its premise centers on a protagonist whose lack of faith becomes a defining trait in a world of the supernatural and cosmic conflict. Though brief, the series stands as a compact, creator-driven statement from the mid-2000s, showcasing Hester’s sharp writing and Volley’s atmospheric visuals.
