Preacher Special: Saint of Killers #1

Glenn Fabry's painted cover sets an immediate, brooding tone — a weathered, hard-eyed gunfighter dominates the foreground, wide-brimmed hat low over his face, a revolver raised in one hand while a line of mounted riders stretches across a smoke-lit horizon behind him. This 1996 Vertigo special kicks off a four-part series from Garth Ennis and Steve Pugh, pulling back the curtain on the Saint of Killers from the pages of Preacher. If you've ever wanted to know what forged the most relentless figure in that universe, this is where the story begins.
