Billi 99 #3

Tim Sale's cover for this third chapter of Dark Horse's four-part series is all steely tension — a shadowy figure in a wide-brimmed hat dominates the foreground while two allies loom behind, one gripping a drawn sword against a backdrop of chain-link fencing. The muted urban palette and Sale's angular linework give the scene a noir edge that suits the gritty world Sarah Byam and Sale are building together. With "Daily Bread" as the story title, issue three of Billi 99 promises the kind of street-level drama this creative team delivers with real style.
