James O'Barr's indie comic series was created as a catharsis for a personal tragedy. Its damaged antihero, a dark vigilante aided by the spirit world, became as much a totem for the Goth community as Gaiman's concurrent "Sandman". With terrible irony, the film version about resurrection and retribution suffered the loss of the accidental death of star Brandon Lee, a factor that sparked breakout financial success as well as canonizing it with a cult audience.
