The Invisibles, Volume Two #1

The Invisibles, Volume Two #1 was released by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint in 1997, serving as the continuation of Grant Morrison’s ambitious, metaphysical espionage narrative. Following the conclusion of the first volume, this series was launched to further explore the battle between the anarchist cell known as the Invisibles and the forces of the Outer Church. The design aesthetic, spearheaded by Grant Morrison's vision, sought to blend countercultural theory, occultism, and science fiction, aiming to function as a hyper-sigil intended to alter the reader's perception of reality.

The issue featured artwork by Phil Jimenez, whose intricate and fluid style became a signature element of the series. Jimenez was tasked with translating Morrison’s dense, surreal scripts into a coherent visual language that could capture both mundane urban settings and psychedelic interdimensional planes. Upon its release, the volume was critically lauded for its intellectual depth and its departure from traditional superhero tropes, cementing its status as a seminal work of nineties alternative comics.
