The Invisibles #7

The Invisibles #7, published by DC Comics under the Vertigo imprint in 1995, is a pivotal installment in Grant Morrison’s transgressive comic book series. The narrative focuses on a secret cell of occult freedom fighters engaged in a clandestine war against the forces of control, a theme inspired by Morrison’s own metaphysical interests and the desire to subvert traditional superhero tropes. The issue contributes to the complex, non-linear mythology of the series, which explores concepts of time, pop culture, and consciousness as weapons of revolution.

The visual identity of this issue was defined by the collaboration between Grant Morrison and artist Steve Yeowell. Yeowell’s clean, precise linework was specifically chosen to contrast with the chaotic, layered nature of the plot, grounding the high-concept science fiction and esoteric philosophy in a readable format. Upon release, the series garnered a cult following for its challenging intellectual content, ultimately influencing the aesthetic and thematic direction of late-90s psychedelic comics.
