About the series
In this single-issue DC prestige format one-shot from 1998, writer Andy Helfer and artist Eduardo Barreto explore the psychological toll of vigilantism through a quiet, character-driven mystery. The story follows a retired police detective haunted by an unsolved case, weaving a noir-tinged meditation on guilt, obsession, and the hidden costs of justice. Though brief, the book stands out for Barreto’s moody, detailed artwork and Helfer’s restrained, introspective script.
