The Sentry

Marvel's The Sentry (2001–present) is a single-issue series that reimagines the forgotten hero mythos, exploring the psychological and cosmic weight of a Superman-like figure whose existence was erased from memory. Published by Marvel, the story is most closely associated with artist Jae Lee, whose haunting, shadow-drenched visuals define the series' atmospheric tone. This compact, standalone tale matters for its bold deconstruction of superhero identity and its lasting influence on Marvel's cosmic and psychological storytelling.
