📘 Series Summary
Asylum (1993) is a three-issue prestige anthology published by Millennium, showcasing atmospheric, gothic, and often surreal storytelling from some of the most influential creators of the era. Each issue features standalone tales that blend dark fantasy, horror, and mythic symbolism, brought to life through richly painted and stylistically experimental artwork. Rather than following a single narrative, the series presents a curated collection of stories unified by tone—moody, introspective, unsettling, and artistically ambitious.
The creative teams include celebrated talents such as Neil Gaiman, Mark Buckingham, P. Craig Russell, and John Bolton, all of whom bring their signature approaches to visual mythmaking. Themes across the anthology explore transformation, psychological fear, and the borderlands between dreams and nightmares. The storytelling leans heavily on atmosphere, using evocative imagery and lyrical narration to immerse readers in worlds that feel simultaneously ancient and modern.
Though short in length, Asylum remains a sought-after cult series for fans of dark fantasy and for collectors of creator-driven 1990s independent work. Its blend of high-end artistry, literary sensibility, and haunting narrative voice makes it a distinctive piece in the era's comics landscape.
