About the series
In 2003, Image Comics released a single, self-contained issue of The Darkness: Wanted Dead, a hardboiled one-shot written by Frank Tieri with gritty, atmospheric art by Mark Texeira. This standalone story offers a focused, violent detour from the ongoing series, spotlighting the mobster-turned-supernatural antihero Jackie Estacado in a tight, no-frills crime narrative. It's a compact, fan-favorite entry that showcases the character's brutal world through the lens of two creators well-versed in street-level mayhem.
