About the series
The Strange Talent of Luther Strode, a six-issue miniseries from Image Comics (2011–2012), follows an ordinary, bullied teenager who orders a bodybuilding course from a comic book ad—only to discover it unlocks violent, superhuman abilities. Written by Justin Jordan with visceral, dynamic art by Tradd Moore, this series reimagines the classic "secret origin" as a brutal, modern horror-tinged action story. It launched a cult-favorite trilogy that explores the dark consequences of power and the monstrous legacy of a strange, ancient discipline.
