Altercations

David Yurkovich’s Altercations (2002–present, Sleeping Giant Comics) is a single-issue series that distills the essence of superhero conflict into a spare, visually driven encounter. Written and illustrated entirely by Yurkovich, this debut issue establishes a self-contained, dialogue-light narrative where two costumed figures clash in a stark, atmospheric landscape. Its importance lies in its focused, almost minimalist approach to the genre, proving that a complete story can be told with just one issue and a singular creative vision.
