Skidmarks

In this 2003 one-shot from Active Images and Comicraft, writer and artist Tim Sale takes a darkly humorous detour from his usual superhero work. The premise follows a washed-up, morally compromised race car driver whose desperate bid for a comeback leads him into a web of violence and betrayal. Though brief, Skidmarks stands as a fascinating outlier in Sale's celebrated career, showcasing his signature moody, expressionistic art in a gritty, noir-tinged world far from the bright capes of Gotham.
