Void Indigo


Da Wikipedia: oid Indigo was a short-lived and controversial comic book series written by Steve Gerber and drawn by Val Mayerik. It was published by Epic Comics from 1983 to 1984.

Void Indigo focuses on an alien named Jaghur from a peaceful extraterrestrial race (he is known on earth as "Mick Jagger"). Jaghur had been a human on Earth in his previous incarnation, and he returns to Earth with a spirit of vengeance against the seven demons who had tortured and killed him in his previous life. He comes to Los Angeles at the end of the graphic novel.

Publishing history

Originally a pitch for revamping DC Comics' Hawkman,[citation needed] Gerber reworked the story into one of the first graphic novels (Marvel Graphic Novel #11) published by Epic Comics in 1983. It was then meant to spin out into a six-issue limited series by Epic.

Due to the comic's extreme (for its time) portrayal of violence, however, distributor reaction to the first issue of the limited series was negative. Critical reaction (to the violence) was also harsh: in his Comics Buyer's Guide column, "The Law is a Ass," Bob Ingersoll cited the book as being a "crime against humanity."[citation needed]

Orders for the second issue dropped due to negative reviews, and Epic's editor-in-chief Archie Goodwin considered it not worth publishing the rest of the series due to the pressures he and the company were under.[1] Issues 3-6 were never completed, although the synopsis was later leaked onto the Internet,[2] providing an idea as to how the series would have finished.
