Incognito is a six-issue comic book limited series written by Ed Brubaker with art by Sean Phillips. It was originally published by the Icon Comics imprint of Marvel Comics.[1][2]
A second five issue miniseries, Incognito: Bad Influences, was released in late 2010.
The first series ran for six issues starting in December 2008, with a seven-month hiatus while the creators worked on another volume. It returned in November 2010 for five more issues. Each issue featured an article written by Jess Nevins on various pulp characters. The comic is set in a world where pulp science heroes and villains have existed since the early 19th century. The protagonist, Zack Overkill, is a former science villain in the Witness Protection Program who regains his super abilities through illegal drugs. He becomes a vigilante and faces threats from his past. In the second series, Zack becomes an agent for the SOS agency and goes undercover to bring back an infiltrated agent. The comic was collected into editions, and in 2017, a republished version was released by Image Comics. A film adaptation of "Incognito" was optioned by 20th Century Fox and later picked up by Columbia Pictures, with a screenplay by Daniel Casey and directed by Fede Álvarez.
