Proposition Player #3

The third chapter of Vertigo's six-part series arrives with a cover by John Bolton that immediately commands attention — a pale, dark-haired woman strides forward through a fiery background, clutching what appears to be a dripping, blood-red heart, her hair swept wildly upward and her pants decorated with golden club suits. It's a striking, painterly image that captures the high-stakes supernatural atmosphere Bill Willingham and Paul Guinan are building across this mature-readers miniseries. With a story titled "An Open Seat or The Fire Down Below," issue three of Proposition Player promises the kind of infernal intrigue that made Vertigo such a compelling corner of comics in 2000.
