Deadshot: Beginnings

Deadshot: Beginnings (2013, DC) collects the original 1970s introduction of the assassin-for-hire, pairing writer Steve Englehart and artist Marshall Rogers for a taut, character-defining story. This single-issue reprint showcases the cold precision and twisted code of honor that would make Deadshot a fan-favorite antihero, capturing the gritty tone of the era’s Batman comics. It remains a key origin for anyone wanting to see where the character’s dark legacy began.
