Marshal Law (comics)

Marshal Law is an English-language superhero comic book series created by Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill.

[citation needed] The series is characterized by its extreme graphic violence and nudity, and Mills' skewering of superhero conventions and US government policy and society.

The stories here were illustrated novellas, rather than actual comic strips, titled The Day Of The Dead (which was later published in a paperback edition) and Cloak Of Evil.

The plot of the original six-issue series revolved around the Marshal's attempts to unmask the Sleepman,[5] a serial killer[5] and rapist who preys on women dressed as Celeste, the current girlfriend of the beloved superhero, Public Spirit.

A recurring secondary adversary (initially treated seriously, though later becoming comic relief) is Suicida, a psychopathic ex-soldier who leads the murderous Gangreen street gang.

Original comic appearances: A series of illustrated novellas were previously released on the now defunct Cool Beans World website.
