Kato Origins #8

Emerging from near-total darkness, a lone masked figure — Kato himself — is captured mid-motion on this atmospheric cover by Colton Worley, a thorned branch slashing dramatically across the shadowed composition. The brooding, painterly image perfectly suits a series digging into the formative years of one of pulp fiction's great martial artists, presented here as a companion to Matt Wagner's Green Hornet: Year One. "The Hellfire Club" promises a story as sharp and dangerous as that thorny silhouette suggests.
