Andrew Vachss' Underground

Andrew Vachss' Underground, a four-issue miniseries from Dark Horse in 1993–1994, plunges into the grim, unvarnished world of street-level crime and survival that defines Vachss's fiction. Conceived as a shared-universe anthology, the series brings together the raw, noir-tinged talents of Bob Fingerman, Jason Lutes, and John Bergin—each writing and drawing their own hard-edged tales of desperate characters navigating a corrupt urban landscape. Its unflinching, visceral approach to crime comics and its collaborative structure make it a distinctive artifact of the early 1990s independent scene.
