Caper

In the gritty, rain-slicked streets of a noir-tinged 1930s, Caper (2003–2004) follows a washed-up former boxer caught between the mob and his own desperate schemes in a 12-issue DC series. Written by Judd Winick, with art from Farel Dalrymple, John Severin, and Tom Fowler, this crime saga blends pulp tension with a melancholy, character-driven heart. It stands as a moody, understated gem from DC’s early-2000s period, showcasing the publisher’s willingness to explore genre fiction beyond superheroes.
