Kill the Face #[nn]

In "The Ransomed City," Mart Bailey writes and illustrates a gripping flashback that reveals how Trent became the Face—once a man caught in the crossfire of a city where police wore masks of their own making. As Trent lies comatose in Japan, his memories unfold in a story of deception, justice, and the cost of wearing a mask that’s harder to remove than it seems. The cover by Alex Toth captures the tension with sharp, noir-inspired lines.
