is a six-issue comic book limited series written and drawn by Frank Miller with artwork painted by Lynn Varley and published between 1983 and 1984, by DC Comics. It takes place in a dystopic near-future New York in which a ronin is reincarnated. One of Miller's most stylish works, showing as it does strong influences of Japanese manga, both in the artwork and narrative style.

is an American creator-owned comic book series, written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Darick Robertson, set in a contemporary world very much similar to the real one, with one notable exception: a number of people have some form of superpower. The series follows a superpowered CIA squad, known informally as "The Boys", whose job it is to keep watch on superheroes and, if necessary, intimidate or kill them. The first six issues were published by Wildstorm, starting in 2006. On January 24, 2007, the series was abruptly canceled with issue 6. DC (of which Wildstorm is an imprint) was allegedly uneasy with the anti-superhero tone of the work. In February 2007 the series was picked up by Dynamite Entertainment and it resumed in May of that year. Violent and explicit. In other words, terrific.
