About the series
From 2016 to 2017, Tom King and Mitch Gerads brought DC Comics a gritty, eight-issue limited series set in the war-torn chaos of post-invasion Iraq. Following a former American cop turned military contractor and a local police investigator, this crime drama explores the fragile, violent intersection of occupation and justice. King’s sharp, humanistic writing and Gerads’ textured, photo-realistic art ground the story in a harrowing, morally complex reality. A standout for its unflinching look at modern conflict, The Sheriff of Babylon remains a powerful, intimate thriller from a celebrated creative team.
