“The Human Target” is based on the DC/Vertigo character and title, originally created for DC in 1972 for several back-up features and later on adopted for a mini-series in 1999 and a full series in 2003, both from DC’s “mature” imprint Vertigo Comics. Christopher Chance, the Human Target, is an unusual mercenary and bodyguard who takes on the identity of his clients, drawing fire away from them towards him, making him a literal human target.
