Enigma



The Enigma trade paperback

What is the nature of existence? Is life inherently absurd? These may be rather lofty philosophical conundrums for a superhero comic, but they’re just two of the many themes in Enigma by Peter Milligan and Duncan Fegredo. Originally published as an eight-issue miniseries from March to October 1993, it is currently available as a trade paperback. It was one of the first comics by DC’s Vertigo imprint and helped establish the publisher’s reputation for bold storytelling and innovative artwork. It also has one of the sexiest splash pages I’ve ever seen in comics.
