'The Crow'.
James O'Barr is a self-taught comic artist. After someone very close to him was killed by a drunken driver, he joined the Marines, where he started writing and drawing the comic series 'The Crow'. This story of death, love and revenge was first published by Caliber, and later picked up by Tundra Publishing. In 1992, a movie was released, starring Brandon Lee, the son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee. Sadly enough, Brandon was accidentally fatally shot during the film shootings. Lee's premature death gave the finished film more unintended media attention, which helped it gain a cult following.
