About the series
In 1991, Malibu Comics published Torment, a three-issue miniseries that plunged readers into a visceral supernatural horror story. Created by writer and artist John Byrne, the series follows a young woman who, after a brutal assault, is transformed into a powerful, vengeance-seeking entity. Torment stands out for its unflinching, mature approach to its dark themes and Byrne's detailed, moody artwork, marking a significant departure from his more mainstream superhero work. It remains a stark, self-contained cult classic from the early '90s independent comics boom.
