Killer

A grim and unflinching crime series from the underground press, Killer debuted in 1973 from the independent publisher Zig-Zag, running for nine issues. The series is most associated with the raw, unsparing storytelling that defined the era's alternative comics scene, offering a stark look at violence and criminal life. Its importance lies in its uncompromising, pre-Watchmen exploration of the killer's psyche, a landmark for its brutal realism and influence on later crime comics.
