Overview

Rogan Gosh is the titular character for the stories, who is a time-traveller from the future.[1]

Described as an "Indian science fiction series", Rogan Gosh was one of the flagship stories in Revolver along with Grant Morrison's version of Dan Dare. The story is an example of Milligan and McCarthy's post-modernist psychedelic style of storyline described by some readers as confusing or challenging. The Washington Post wrote that the story "abruptly changes direction every few pages".[2] Both creators describe the works as partly autobiographical.

After Revolver was cancelled the story remained out of print until Vertigo released the 1994 collected edition.
