Blackjack

Alex Simmons and Joe Bennett launched this three-issue series from Dark Angel Productions Inc. in 1996, centering on a mysterious, globe-trotting vigilante known only as Blackjack. The story combines gritty street-level action with international intrigue, showcasing Bennett’s dynamic, shadow-drenched artwork and Simmons’s taut, noir-infused storytelling. Though short-lived, the series stands as a notable independent crime comic of the mid-1990s, offering a lean, stylish take on the lone hero archetype.
