Blood & Roses: Future Past Tense

In this two-issue miniseries from Knight Press, Blood & Roses: Future Past Tense (1993–1994) reimagines a post-apocalyptic world where the line between humanity and monstrosity blurs. Written by Bob Hickey, Brad Gorby, and Joe Martin, with art by Gorby and Jerry Foley, the story explores themes of survival and identity against a gritty, war-torn backdrop. A compact, atmospheric entry in the independent comics landscape of the early '90s, it stands as a curious artifact of its era's fascination with dark futures and antiheroic conflict.
