description Demo Overview
Demo is a comic-book anthology written by Brian Wood and illustrated by Becky Cloonan, originally published as a 12-issue series in 2003 and 2004. Each story centers on a young person whose unusual ability changes how they relate to family, work, love, or society, so the series treats superpowers as personal and social problems rather than as a conventional superhero premise; it was later collected in graphic-novel editions.
