The Guardsmen of Infinity Portfolio

Carter Scholz’s singular, self-contained portfolio for Fantagraphics, The Guardsmen of Infinity (1972–present), is a striking, early artifact of the independent comics movement. This single issue presents a visionary, wordless science-fiction sequence rendered in Scholz’s meticulous, atmospheric linework, standing as a testament to the artist’s bold, personal storytelling outside the mainstream. It remains a quiet landmark from the dawn of the alternative-comics era.
