DMZ #15

The third chapter of the "Public Works" arc arrives in this Vertigo mature-readers title from Brian Wood and Riccardo Burchielli. Brian Wood's cover sets a tense, fragmented scene: a wrecked, overturned car dominates the upper half in smoky red tones, while below, a bloodied figure clutching a gun crouches beneath New York City highway signage pointing toward Harlem River Drive, the George Washington Bridge, and the Deegan Expressway — the DMZ's real-world geography rendered in stark, unsettling detail. It's a cover that captures the series' signature blend of urban grit and political unease, making this 2007 issue a compelling entry point into one of Vertigo's most grounded dystopian narratives.
