Syphoning and channelling 1990s conspiracy culture and just about any fringe notion he did or did not believe in, into the book, he wrote, he said, as a hypersigil with the intention of of jumpstarting the culture in a more positive direction. He predicted that the comic book would instigate as big a shockwave as the Sex Pistols. It has not. However, the book permanently may permanently re-structure the thought processes of any person who reads it, no matter how weird they started off, and it may yet have a long-term effect.
The leader of the Invisibles is King Mob, a character based on author Grant Morrison. His followers are Lord Fanny, a Brazilian shaman and transvestite; Boy, a former NY City police officer; Ragged Robin, a telepathic time-traveller, and Jack Frost, a young street punk from Liverpool who could very well be the next Buddha.
Their enemies in this struggle are the archons of the Outer Church, a group of interdimensional alienss who plan to enslave the human race. Villains such as Ms. Dwyer and Mr. Quimper do the bidding of these beings.
The entire series is collected in trade paperbacks:
