Chain Gang War #12

The penultimate chapter of DC's gritty 1994 vigilante series arrives with a cover by Dave Johnson that's as raw and uncompromising as the title suggests — a heavily armed, chain-wielding figure clashes violently with multiple opponents in a stark black-and-white composition punctuated by vivid red blood spatters. The minimalist palette gives the chaos a brutal, almost woodcut quality that makes every impact feel visceral. With John Wagner's street-level storytelling and "Meltdown" as the issue's title, this is the kind of comics experience that leans hard into the consequences of vigilante warfare.
