Skulldigger and Skeleton Boy: From the World of Black Hammer

In this grim yet heartfelt spin-off from the world of Black Hammer, a vigilante known as Skulldigger—a brutal, Batman-like figure—takes in a young orphan who becomes his sidekick, Skeleton Boy. Written by Jeff Lemire and drawn by Tonci Zonjic, this 2021 Dark Horse series explores the brutal cost of justice and the fragile bond between a hardened hero and a child seeking purpose. Though only one issue has been released so far, it deepens the Black Hammer universe with a dark, character-driven tale of mentorship and violence.
