Firebrand #5

In "Killer's Garden," Firebrand—now operating under the Childfind Network—tracks a chilling copycat killer mirroring the brutal methods of the infamous Max The Knife, hunting a missing girl with a precision that suggests more than just imitation. Written by Brian Augustyn and illustrated with tense, vivid detail by Sal Velluto, whose inks by Mark McKenna and Ken Branch heighten the atmosphere, this 1996 issue blends psychological suspense with a grounded, urgent mission. The cover by Sal Velluto captures the unease of the search, a silent promise of danger lurking just beneath the surface.
