The Interman

Jeff Parker’s The Interman (2003–present, Octopus Press) is a taut, single-issue espionage thriller that introduces a covert agent with a unique genetic ability to mimic any identity. Parker both writes and pencils the story, with finishes by Steve Lieber, grounding the high-concept premise in a grounded, shadowy world of tradecraft and paranoia. A lean, self-contained debut from an acclaimed indie creator, it stands as a compelling snapshot of early-2000s creator-owned spy fiction.
