Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #1

David Lapham returns to his acclaimed crime series with this opening chapter of Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses, published through Image's El Capitán imprint in 2015. The cover sets a tense, noir-soaked tone immediately — a young man in a red jacket levels a revolver with quiet menace while a woman lies across the foreground, the bold yellow backdrop and swirling design amplifying the sense of danger beneath the surface calm. Lapham's sharp linework pulls double duty here, delivering both the writing and art with the same assured, street-level edge that makes this series so compelling.
