“The Santa Contract”

A weeping Santa Claus with a pistol shoved in his mouth — while a menacing figure looms in red behind him amid a swirl of falling snow — sets the darkly comic tone for "The Santa Contract" perfectly. This January 1998 issue captures everything that made Garth Ennis and John McCrea's Hitman such a sharp, irreverent gem: genuine menace wrapped in absurdist humor. McCrea's cover work here is wonderfully expressive, delivering both a gut-punch and a grin in a single image.
