BrainBanx #2, 4, 5 (1997 Helix DC) VF/NM Cyberpunk Sci-Fi George Freeman Elaine Lee Lot

Offered is a VF/NM (Very Fine to Near Mint) lot of BrainBanx issues #2, 4, and 5, published in 1997 under DC Comics' Helix imprint — a short-lived line devoted to mature, speculative science fiction. Written by Elaine Lee and illustrated by George Freeman, BrainBanx delivers a richly layered, cerebral cyberpunk thriller that blends noir mystery, biotech themes, and psychological intrigue.

Set in a dystopian future where corporate espionage and mind-sharing technology dominate, the series follows Anna Elysian, an intelligence agent who “rides” in the minds of others through neural interface. These mid-series issues deepen the plot's ethical dilemmas, body politics, and transhumanist science fiction.
