Damned #3

A Polaroid snapshot frames two figures backed against a brick wall — a dark-haired man in a leather jacket raising a revolver while a red-haired woman grips him tightly, her expression caught somewhere between alarm and determination. The caption "In the big city and wanted by everyone" sets a hard-boiled noir tone that suits this Image/Homage series perfectly. Mike Zeck's cover art gives the scene a gritty, street-level urgency that makes issue #3 of Damned a compelling entry in this 1997 crime thriller.
