About the series
In 2002, Brian K. Vaughan and artist Kyle Hotz introduced a new kind of street-level Marvel villain with The Hood. This six-issue series follows small-time crook Parker Robbins, who stumbles into a demonic costume granting him invisibility and flight, using his newfound power to climb the ranks of organized crime in a gritty, grounded corner of the Marvel Universe. Vaughan’s sharp, character-driven writing and Hotz’s moody, grotesque art craft a crime saga that redefined the classic "rise of a supervillain" story, making it a cult touchstone for its morally complex antihero.
