100 Bullets #87

As Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso's acclaimed Vertigo series hurtles toward its conclusion, issue #87 arrives with a cover by Dave Johnson that commands attention: a figure seen from behind wears a leather jacket emblazoned with the "Croatoa Thirteen" patch — a hand marked with Roman numerals at its center — while a hawk perches coolly on their shoulder against a stark crimson background. It's a striking image that captures the series' blend of criminal mythology and quiet menace perfectly. "The Blister" promises more of the morally layered storytelling that has made 100 Bullets one of Vertigo's most compelling long-form crime narratives.
