“Beth Wish”

In "Beth Wish," Harry navigates a tense web of loyalty and danger when jazz musician Arthur Combs enters his world through Ethlie, while Beth confronts him with a chilling offer: erase two detectives tormenting her, and she’ll pretend he never lived. Written by Howard Chaykin and David Tischman, with evocative art by Marc Laming and inks by John Stokes, this issue blends noir atmosphere with personal stakes. The cover by Jim Silke captures the story’s mood with sharp, moody precision.
