Black Hammer: Secret Origins introduces a group of superheroes—Abraham Slam, Golden Gail, Colonel Weird, Talky-Walky, Barbalien, and Madame Dragonfly—who, after defeating the cosmic Anti-God, find themselves inexplicably trapped in a mysterious rural town. Struggling to adapt to their new mundane lives, they grapple with fading memories and the haunting question of how to return home. Jeff Lemire crafts a poignant narrative that deconstructs superhero archetypes, while Dean Ormston’s evocative artwork and Dave Stewart’s moody coloring enhance the story’s melancholic tone. Published by Dark Horse in 2017, this volume collects the first six issues of the Black Hammer series, blending nostalgia with fresh storytelling to explore themes of heroism, identity, and confinement.
