In 1999 Peter Milligan brought Chance back into pen and ink under DC's Vertigo brand with a 4 part mini-series that was later bound into a graphic novel titled simply "Human Target." In writing a story where an attack leaves Chance literally without a face, Milligan took the character to much deeper and darker places than he had ever been before. The series turned out to be Milligan's most controversial, but also his most successful work, as the controversy helped springboard the writer into the public eye.1

The success of this book led to a original graphic novel called "Human Target: Final Cut" in 2002 as well as a new monthly series in 2003. 2 Vertigo collected ten issues of the series into two more graphic novels Human Target: Strike Zones and Human Target: Living in Amerika in 2004 and printed the last of the monthly series in 2005.
