Ex-Mutants #3

Ex-Mutants #3 was published in 1986 by Eternity Comics, emerging during the independent comics boom of the mid-1980s. The series was created by David Lawrence and Ron Lim, conceived as a post-apocalyptic narrative centered on genetically altered humans struggling to survive in a harsh, transformed landscape. It drew thematic inspiration from the grim, high-stakes storytelling tropes prevalent in the science fiction comics of that era.

The visual direction, anchored by the work of Ron Lim, utilized a gritty aesthetic that prioritized dynamic action and character design suited to the series' bleak premise. While the series did not reach the commercial heights of mainstream superhero titles, it remains a notable example of the creative experimentation within small-press publishing during the eighties, representing a period when creators frequently sought to carve out original mythologies outside of the industry's major publishing houses.
