Painkiller Jane vs. The Darkness: "Stripper" #1
"Stripper Number One" kicks off a bloody clash of titans in Painkiller Jane vs. The Darkness: "Stripper" #1, a 1997 Event Comics standout where Jane’s hunt for a lowlife scum leads her head-on into a killer known only as a "stripper" who skins her victims alive. Written by Garth Ennis and brought to life with bold, gritty art by Amanda Conner, inks by Jimmy Palmiotti, and vibrant colors by Atomic Paintbrush, this issue sets a relentless pace from the first page. Marc Silvestri’s intense cover captures the raw menace of the threat, making this a must-have for fans of early 90s genre-blending horror and action.
