Sandman Mystery Theatre #9

In "The Brute Act One," Wesley Dodds finds himself drawn into a murky alliance with the enigmatic fight promoter Arthur Reisling, whose philanthropic image hides a web of deception. As Dodds weighs the risks of this new venture, he remains unaware of the violent force Reisling keeps in the shadows—waiting to be unleashed. Written by Matt Wagner and illustrated by R. G. Taylor, with colors by David Hornung and letters by John Costanza, the cover by Gavin Wilson captures the tension of a man on the edge of a dangerous decision.
