The beginning of a bold, blasphemous, and unforgettable journey—Preacher #1 is the explosive debut of one of the most iconic and controversial comic series of the 1990s. Published under DC’s mature-reader Vertigo imprint, this first issue introduces Jesse Custer, a small-town Texas preacher who’s lost his faith—until he’s suddenly possessed by a powerful and mysterious entity known as Genesis, the unnatural offspring of an angel and a demon.

Haunted by his past and driven by a newfound, godlike power, Jesse sets out on a brutal cross-country quest to literally find God—who has abandoned Heaven. Alongside his trigger-happy ex-girlfriend Tulip and a hard-drinking Irish vampire named Cassidy, Jesse’s journey begins here in a tale that blends dark humor, supernatural horror, and sharp social commentary.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of boundary-pushing comics or discovering this cult classic for the first time, Preacher #1 is essential reading—a provocative start to a series that redefined adult storytelling in comics.
