Hitman #1

A Polish collection bringing Garth Ennis and John McCrea's darkly comic hitman tale to new readers, this 2002 Mandragora release opens with a cover that sets the tone perfectly. McCrea's artwork places a cool, cigarette-holding figure at a bar table, flanked by two looming, shadowy presences that hint at the dangerous world he inhabits. It's a moody, atmospheric introduction to one of comics' most irreverent antihero concepts.
