The Invisibles is an adult comic book series that was published by the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics from 1994 to 2000. It was created and scripted by Scottish writer Grant Morrison, and drawn by various artists throughout its publication.

The plot follows (more or less) a single cell of The Invisible College, a secret organization battling against physical and psychic oppression using time travel, magic, meditation, and physical violence.

For most of the series, the team includes leader King Mob; Lord Fanny, a Brazilian transgendered shaman; Boy, a former member of the NYPD; Ragged Robin, a telepath with a mysterious past; and Jack Frost, a young hooligan from Liverpool who may be the next Buddha. Their enemies are the Archons of Outer Church, interdimensional alien gods who have already enslaved most of the human race without its knowledge.


The Invisibles was Morrison's first major creator-owned title for DC Comics and it drew from his Zenith strip as well as 1990s conspiracy culture. His intent was to create a hypersigil to jump-start the culture in a more positive direction.

The title initially sold well but sales dipped sharply during the first series, leading to concerns that the series may be canceled outright. To counteract this, Morrison suggested a "wankathon" in the hope of bringing about a magical increase in sales by a mass of fans simultaneously masturbating at a set time.

Morrison became seriously ill whilst writing the book, something he attributes to working on the title and the manner in which its magical influence affected him, and has stated that his work on the comic made him into a different person from the one who started it. He has also said that much of the story was told to him by aliens when he was abducted during a trip to Katmandu. He has since characterized the alien abduction in Katmandu as a psychological experience, one that actually had nothing to do with aliens or abduction.

The third and final series was meant to be a countdown to the new millennium but shipping delays meant the final issue did not appear until April 2000. All of the series have been collected in a set of trade paperbacks.


The title was optioned to be made into a television series by BBC Scotland, but neither this nor an optioned film version have been made. Morrison wrote The Filth for Vertigo in 2002, which he describes as a companion piece to The Invisibles, though there is no other connection between the two titles.

I'd just like to thank you and let you know I really appreciate you putting this .cbr version up - I've binned the original .jpg torrent I downloaded for this, but the wait will be worth it!

We got this torrent from the same place.  That line is the ENTIRE reason I downloaded this.  I didn't look it up on wikipedia, DC's site, nothing.  It was just impossible to ignore that strong a recommendation.

I haven't read this yet but i still remember this line from the intro to the torrent I got it from. "This is the dopest sh** ever". Never knew quite what that was supposed to  mean, but memorable.

I never heard that stuff about morrison. Assuming its all true, it sounds like he may have been "doped" for much of the 90s.

I get my ideas from a lizard that lives in my head personally. He's not like some imaginary alien who writes comic book scripts...
