Clandestine – Marvel – 1994–1995 – #1–12

📘 Series Summary

Created, written, and illustrated by the legendary Alan Davis, Clandestine introduces the Destines, a family of long-lived superhumans born from the union of a 12th-century knight and a mystical female genie. For centuries, the family has lived in secret, but the emergence of the youngest twins, Rory (the Crimson Crusader) and Pandora (Imp), threatens to expose their existence to a world of monsters, demons, and high-tech organizations like A.I.M.

The 12-issue Limited Series is a masterclass in superhero world-building, blending cosmic stakes with intimate family dynamics. From the Destines' struggle against the demonic Lenz to their encounters with Marvel icons like Silver Surfer, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange, the series showcases Davis' signature kinetic art style and intricate plotting. Later issues see a creative shift to writer Glenn Dakin and artist Bryan Hitch, further exploring the family's deep-rooted history and their place within the broader Marvel Universe.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • A complete 12-issue limited series that serves as the foundation for the Destine family mythos.
  • Features the unmistakable art and storytelling of Alan Davis (Excalibur, JLA: The Nail) for the majority of the run.
  • Blending centuries of historical backstory with modern superhero action, from WWII battles to modern-day A.I.M. infiltrations.
  • Guest appearances by major Marvel heroes including Spider-Man (#7), Silver Surfer (#1-3), and Namor (#11).
  • Notable early-career work by Bryan Hitch (#11-12), showing the evolution of his detailed "widescreen" style.
  • The series includes the "Family Reunion" (#1-4) and "School Daze" (#6-7) arcs, balancing epic fantasy with character-driven humor.
