Seaguy
Seaguy is a three-volume comic book miniseries written by Grant Morrison with art by Cameron Stewart and published by the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics. The first volume of Seaguy was released in three issues beginning on May 19, 2004. The second volume, Slaves of Mickey Eye, was released in three issues beginning on April 1, 2009. The third and final volume, Seaguy Eternal, is yet to be published.
The story revolves around Seaguy, an unpowered superhero in a scuba suit, and his best friend and sidekick Chubby Da Choona, a talking, cigar-smoking tuna.
Morrison has expressed on various occasions that Seaguy represents a deliberate effort to move away from conventions of the current era of comics: "I had the idea to develop Seaguy into a weapon I could use to fight back against the trendy and unconvincing 'bad-ass' cynicism of current comics, most of which are produced by the most un-'bad-ass' men you can possibly imagine". Morrison believes that in this fashion the work represents a new vanguard in the development of comics. Morrison expressed similar sentiments about Zenith, one of the earliest series they worked on, when they said that it "was a reaction against torment superheroes".
Seaguy was planned as a trilogy, the second and third volumes were to be entitled "The Slaves of Mickey Eye" and "Seaguy Eternal" respectively, but due to the lower-than-expected sales of the comic, it was thought that the sequels were unlikely to be published. In 2006, a fan reported to a comics rumor column that Morrison was holding DC Comics' 52 weekly limited series for ransom. They reportedly offered to help write the series as long as they allowed him to go forward on the Seaguy sequel.
In April 2008, Morrison said that both sequels would go ahead and gave an overview of the ideas they have about the different parts:
I originally thought about it as three books. The first book was his childhood. And it's the idea that you're quite ignorant and you just want to have adventures. And you have all your talking pals and imaginary friends. So that was the child Seaguy. This is the teenage version of Seaguy. It's quite dark and gloomy and glossy and weird but it's quite funny, as well. And the final one is a mature adult, so it's a different version again. But it's basically just this guy growing up and finding out the truth about things.
The first sequel, Seaguy: The Slaves of Mickey Eye, was released on April 1, 2009 by DC Comics/Vertigo.
