The Vigilante #5
In "Witnesses," the fifth issue of The Vigilante (1984), Marv Wolfman and Keith Pollard deliver a tense, grounded thriller as two rival mob bosses are assassinated—leaving Adrian, the Vigilante, furious when Assistant D.A. Marcia King spares the killers to uncover their employer. When Adrian takes justice into his own hands, he’s brutally wounded, forcing J.J. to make a desperate move: hijacking the ambulance carrying the unconscious hero before Captain Hall and the police can expose him. The cover by Ed Hannigan and Dick Giordano captures the urgency of the moment, setting the stage for a story where loyalty, identity, and the cost of vigilance collide.
