About the series
In 1994, Image Comics published the single-issue Troll: Once a Hero, a standalone story from writer Eldon Asp and artist Gabe Alberola. This one-shot explores the idea of a retired, weary hero grappling with his legacy in a world that has moved on, offering a quiet, character-focused take on the superhero genre. Though brief, it stands as a distinctive, introspective entry from Image's early, creator-driven era.
