Before Watchmen: Comedian #3

The third chapter of Brian Azzarello and J. G. Jones's six-part Comedian prequel brings a quietly unsettling image to the fore: a pair of heavy black boots standing over scattered newspaper headlines screaming of riots in Los Angeles, spent bullet casings, and a California map — the debris of a city in upheaval. J. G. Jones's cover work renders every texture with meticulous care, grounding this Watchmen story firmly in the turbulent American landscape of the era. It's a deliberately low-angle, street-level composition that lets the chaos underfoot do all the talking.
