The Witchblade #1 (1996) introduces a gripping blend of noir suspense and supernatural mystery, launching a series that centers on police officer Sara Pezzini as she stumbles into a deadly game orchestrated by businessman Kenneth Irons. When a cryptic gauntlet known as the Witchblade is put on display at the Rialto, Sara and her partner Michael Yee find themselves caught in a violent ambush that ends in tragedy—and the sudden, shocking fusion of the gauntlet with Sara’s hand. Written by David Wohl, Brian Haberlin, Michael Turner, and Christina Z, with dynamic art by Michael Turner and inks by D-Tron, Nathan Cabrera, Viet Truong, and John DiRito, and colors by Nathan Cabrera and J. D. Smith, the issue sets a bold tone with its moody atmosphere and high-stakes action. The cover, penciled by Michael Turner, captures the moment of transformation with striking intensity.
