American Entertainment: The Darkness Prelude Special

A single-issue prelude from Top Cow Productions (1997), this special sets the stage for the supernatural crime saga The Darkness. Written by David Wohl, Marc Silvestri, and Mike Manczarek, with art by Billy Tan and Silvestri, it introduces the brutal, shadow-fueled world that would define the franchise. As an early entry in the series, it establishes the tone and mythology that would carry through decades of stories.
