Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso ignite one of Vertigo’s most celebrated crime sagas—now available in the sleek, bestselling DC Compact Comics format!
If a stranger offered you the chance to get away with murder…would you take it?
In this dark and intriguing DC Compact Comics Edition, the mysterious Agent Graves approaches ordinary citizens and gives them an opportunity to exact revenge on a person who has wronged them. Offering his clients an attaché case containing proof of the deed and a gun, he guarantees them full immunity for all of their actions, including murder. In these opening chapters, Dizzy Cordova, a Latina gangbanger who has just finished a prison sentence, is given the chance to avenge her family’s murders, and a downtrodden bartender receives the opportunity to exact revenge against the woman who ruined his life.
Collecting the first five issues of the senses-shattering 100 Bullets series and a gripping short story from Vertigo: Winter’s Edge, 100 Bullets: First Shot, Last Call is a provocative tale that’s one part hard-boiled crime story and one part paranoid espionage thriller, all served in a highball with a unique twist—shaken, not stirred!
Brian Azzarello has been writing comics professionally since the mid-1990s. He is the author of Jonny Double, Batman: Broken City, and the Harvey and Eisner Award-winning 100 Bullets, all created in collaboration with artist Eduardo Risso.
