Before Watchmen: Comedian #6

The six-issue Before Watchmen: Comedian miniseries reaches its conclusion with this striking 2013 finale, "Eighties." J. G. Jones's cover says everything without saying a word: a black-gloved hand grips a revolver, blood-spattered across what appears to be a crumpled American flag or banner, the ghostly impression of a face visible beneath the crimson drops — brutal, composed, and deeply atmospheric. Brian Azzarello and Jones bring Edward Blake's story to a close with the same unflinching visual language that defined this series from the start.
