Matador #1

This WildStorm Signature Series opener from 2005 sets a cool, noir-drenched tone right from the start — the cover by Brian Stelfreeze presents a sharply dressed figure in silhouette, drawing a handgun from beneath a suit jacket, the bold slash of a red tie cutting through the stark black-and-white composition with real visual punch. Stelfreeze, who also handles writing, pencils, inks, and colors on the interior, brings an assured, cinematic sensibility to this first chapter of a six-part story. It's a genuinely compelling package from a creator working across every artistic discipline at once, and that confident cover alone makes a strong case for seeing where "Sym-me-try" goes.
