Barbalien: Red Planet #1

From Jeff Lemire's Black Hammer!

A groundbreaking new sci-fi action series in the world of the Eisner Award-winning Black Hammer universe, about prejudice, honor, and identity.

Mark Markz has found his place on Earth as both a decorated police officer and as the beloved superhero, Barbalien. But in the midst of the AIDS crisis, hatred from all sides makes balancing these identities seem impossible--especially when a Martian enemy from the past hunts him down to take him back, dead or alive.

* Origin Story for Barbalien.

* Art by Gabriel Hernandez Walta (New Mutants, X-Men)!

* 2021 Eisner Award-nominee for Best Limited Series, Best Writer (Jeff Lemire), and Best Lettering (Aditya Bidikar)
