Button Man: The Killing Game

John Wagner and Arthur Ranson launched this taut, cinematic thriller for Kitchen Sink Press in 1995, following a lone gunman forced into a deadly, clandestine contest where human lives are the only currency. Ranson's moody, photorealistic art brings a gritty, European-style intensity to Wagner's lean, hard-boiled script. Though a single issue, it stands as a potent, self-contained slice of noir-infused action adventure.
