Andrew Vachss' Underground #3

The third issue of Andrew Vachss' Underground from Dark Horse arrives with a cover by Al Davison that immediately commands attention: a powerfully built, shirtless man with a chest tattoo sits cross-legged atop a low wheeled cart labeled "LEFTOVERS," gripping a metal spike or tool while bathed in the dim, curved light of what appears to be a tunnel. The image carries a quiet, coiled tension — this is clearly someone who has survived the margins and learned to endure. With Jason Lutes handling writing and art throughout, this 1994 mature-readers series continues to explore the shadowy world Vachss built, and "The Watcher" promises another unflinching chapter.
