OMEGA THE UNKNOWN (1ST SERIES)
10-issue series. The story of a mute, reluctant super hero from another planet, and the earthly teenager with whom he shares a strange destiny - and the legion of robots and nanoviruses that have been sent from afar to hunt the two of them down! Created in 1975 by Steve Gerber and Mary Skrenes, the original Omega the Unknown lasted only ten issues, but was a legend to those who recall it - an ahead-of-its-time tale of an anti-hero, inflected with brilliant ambiguity.
#1-7 were Distributed in the UK at the time. #8-10 were all Non Distributed so are always cents copies.
An under-rated series in my opinion and sadly very static in value.
