About the series
In this four-issue DC miniseries from 1989–1990, writer Gerard Jones and artist Mark Badger craft a gritty, character-driven crime thriller centered on a small-time crook navigating the treacherous world of underground heists and double-crosses. Published during an era when DC was exploring darker, more adult-oriented storytelling, The Score stands out for its moody, painted artwork and its focus on flawed, desperate characters rather than superheroics. It's a tightly wound, atmospheric crime noir that showcases the creative team's ability to build tension and moral ambiguity in a compact, self-contained story.
