About the series
In 1999–2000, DC published this six-issue miniseries by writer/artist Bill Willingham, with additional art by Paul Guinan. It follows a man who makes a Faustian bargain to become a "proposition player," gambling for souls in a supernatural poker game that blurs the line between the mundane and the mystical. A sharply inventive blend of noir and dark fantasy, it showcases Willingham’s knack for morally complex, character-driven storytelling before his later fame on Fables.
