About this Collection

This German-language collection presents the first story arc of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' acclaimed crime series Criminal, originally published by Marvel's Icon imprint. It introduces a gritty, interconnected world of career criminals, featuring the character Leo Patterson in a noir tale of betrayal and violence set in the underbelly of a nameless city.

"Coward" kicks off Criminal #1 with a tense, grounded story of loyalty and risk, centered on Leo—a meticulous planner whose greatest challenge isn’t the heist, but the people he’s forced to trust. Written by Ed Brubaker and drawn with sharp precision by Sean Phillips, the issue unfolds in a world where the line between ally and betrayer is razor-thin, and every decision carries weight. The cover by Sean Phillips captures the mood perfectly: a quiet moment of unease, just before everything goes wrong.
