Dial H #1 (2012) reimagines one of DC Comics’ most inventive concepts with a modern, surrealist twist. Written by award-winning novelist China Miéville, this New 52 launch dives headfirst into a world where a mysterious rotary phone grants ordinary people unpredictable superpowers—but only for a short time. The result is a mind-bending journey through identity, transformation, and bizarre heroism.

This issue introduces Nelson Jent, a down-and-out, chain-smoking anti-hero who stumbles upon the “Hero Dial” during a desperate moment. Suddenly, he’s thrust into a reality where each turn of the dial transforms him into a completely different superhero—sometimes awe-inspiring, sometimes utterly absurd, but always temporary. From Boy Chimney to Captain Lachrymose, the heroes are as strange as they are intriguing, with their own quirks and unique abilities.

The artwork by Mateus Santolouco delivers a gritty, kinetic energy that pairs perfectly with the unpredictable tone of the script. The visuals are stylised and intense, mirroring the distorted, almost dreamlike atmosphere of the story. Dial H #1 is a compelling read for fans of the unconventional—ideal for those who appreciate layered storytelling, weird science, and a touch of the existential.
