About the series
In 2003, DC Comics published this three-issue miniseries by writer Warren Ellis and artist Cully Hamner, a taut espionage thriller about a retired black-ops agent forced back into action when a government hit squad comes to eliminate him. Known for its lean, efficient storytelling and Hamner's gritty, expressive art, Red strips the spy genre to its essentials, exploring the cost of a life lived in the shadows. This compact series stands as a sharp, influential take on aging operatives and the secrets they carry.
