About the series
In this two-issue Marvel series from 1991–1992, writer Elaine Lee and artist James Sherman craft a surreal, introspective sci-fi tale about a man transformed into a godlike being. Ike Garuda, a physicist, undergoes a radical metamorphosis that blurs the line between human and cosmic, forcing him to navigate a new existence of immense power and isolation. Though brief, the series stands out for its philosophical depth and Lee and Sherman's thoughtful, character-driven approach to classic superhero tropes.
