Prison Pit #3

Johnny Ryan's Prison Pit #3 hits hard with a cover that puts a pink, green-nailed hand dead center — its palm marked with a bold star sigil — surrounded by jagged yellow lightning bolts crackling against a pitch-black background. The raw, electric energy of Ryan's artwork sets the tone perfectly for "Chapter Six: Arch-Enemy," promising the kind of unhinged, confrontational comics experience this series is known for. Released by Fantagraphics in 2011, this oversized volume continues to showcase Ryan's singular vision at its most visceral.
