About the series
In The Silent Invasion (1988–1989), writer and artist Michael Cherkas crafted a taut, four-issue conspiracy thriller for NBM, set in a paranoid 1950s America where alien doppelgängers secretly replace key figures in government and society. This black-and-white series stands out for its atmospheric, film noir–inspired art and its chilling exploration of Cold War fear, blending science fiction with political commentary. Cherkas’s tight, suspenseful storytelling makes it a cult gem of late-80s independent comics, offering a quiet but potent take on invasion narratives.
