Grips

Kris Silver and Tim Vigil launched this gritty, four-issue Silverwolf series in 1986, a short but intense burst of underground-style comics that leans into Vigil's raw, visceral artwork. Set in a grim urban landscape, Grips follows a vigilante whose methods are as brutal as the criminals he hunts, capturing the dark, no-holds-barred spirit of late-80s independent comics. It stands as a cult touchstone for fans of uncompromising, creator-driven stories from the era.
