Image Special #4

In this striking 1997 Image Special, Alan Moore crafts a high-stakes clash of cosmic and criminal forces as Violator’s four eerie brothers—Vacillator, Vindicator, Vandalizer, and Vaporizer—descend on Earth with one purpose: to eliminate him. Meanwhile, a shadowy mob hires the enigmatic Admonisher to finish the job, setting off a tense, unpredictable chain of violence. Bart Sears’ dynamic artwork, rendered with precision by Mark Pennington and vividly colored by Steve Oliff and Olyoptics, brings this surreal showdown to life, all framed by Sears and Pennington’s chilling cover.
