About the series
DC’s 1988 miniseries, written by John Ostrander and Kim Yale with art by Luke McDonnell, gives the assassin-for-hire Floyd Lawton his first solo spotlight. Over four issues, it strips away the villainous trappings to explore the cold pragmatism and fractured humanity of a man who never misses—and never quite connects. This tight, character-driven story helped redefine Deadshot from a gimmicky Batman foe into a nuanced antihero, laying groundwork for his later prominence in Suicide Squad.
