Provenance

Where it came from

Mage: The Hero Discovered #13 was published in 1985 as part of the groundbreaking independent comic book series created, written, and illustrated by Matt Wagner. Launched in 1984, the series sought to deconstruct the archetype of the hero by reinterpreting the legend of King Arthur through a contemporary, urban fantasy lens. This specific issue serves as a pivotal installment in Kevin Matchstick’s journey, reflecting Wagner's signature blend of gritty, noir-inspired aesthetics and mythological grandeur that defined the mid-1980s creator-owned movement.

The visual identity of the series was heavily influenced by Wagner’s interest in bold, angular linework and a kinetic, almost cinematic approach to panel layout. In this issue, readers see the progression of Wagner’s artistic style as he moved away from traditional superhero tropes to explore the psychological weight of destiny. The series was met with significant critical acclaim upon its release, garnering a cult following that helped solidify Wagner's reputation as a pioneer in independent comics and paved the way for the mature, author-driven storytelling that became a hallmark of the industry in the late 1980s.
