Chassis – Image Comics – 1999–2000 – #0–5

📘 Series Summary

Set in a vibrant, dieselpunk alternate 1949 where robotics and high-speed aero-racing dominate the landscape, Chassis follows the adventures of Chassis McBain. Created by William O'Neill and written by the acclaimed Joshua D.M. Dysart, this volume is the third iteration of the character, moving the property to Image Comics. Chassis is a world-class racer and engineer who navigates a world filled with corporate sabotage, bizarre technology, and geopolitical intrigue.

The series is notable for its unique world-building, including an alternate history where Adolf Hitler is a struggling comic book artist rather than a dictator. Throughout the run, Chassis and her robotic companion Slic face mid-race sabotages and travel to international locales like Japan while uncovering the secrets of Grey Industries. This volume blends the aesthetic of vintage aviation with speculative sci-fi, featuring detailed mechanical designs and a focus on the gritty, oil-stained side of retro-futurism.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • Features Joshua D.M. Dysart's early work, who would later gain fame for Unknown Soldier and the Valiant Harbinger relaunch.
  • Iconic dieselpunk world-building that provides a fresh, mechanical spin on the late 1940s aesthetic.
  • Includes the Dynamic Forces Exclusive variants (#1) by the legendary Mike Wieringo, limited to 1,000 and 2,000 copies.
  • Showcases stunning painted cover art (#3) by Glen Orbik and guest covers by Tony Daniel and Randy Green.
  • Deep mechanical lore, featuring schematic-style blueprints and detailed character profiles for the robots and aero-cars.
  • A cult-favorite indie property that successfully bridged the gap between 90s action and early 2000s speculative fiction.
