Jack Staff #12

Britain's Greatest Hero" faces a tense standoff in this 2006 Image series entry, with Jack Staff — red-suited, sharp-eyed, and clearly outnumbered — at the center of a ring of reaching hands, one of them thrusting a sword toward him from below. Paul Grist's clean, dynamic linework gives the scene an urgent push-and-pull energy, the dark industrial backdrop making those grasping figures feel genuinely threatening. A confident twelfth issue that showcases exactly why this British superhero adventure earned its devoted readership.
