Billi 99 #1

Against a shadowy brick wall marked with red graffiti, a lone figure in a wide-brimmed hat, purple coat, and tall boots stands with a blade held at the ready — all cool composure and quiet menace. Tim Sale's cover art for this opening chapter of Sarah Byam's four-issue series crackles with noir atmosphere, immediately establishing Billi 99 as a street-level tale with a distinctive visual edge. A strong start to what promises to be an intriguing 1991 Dark Horse miniseries.
