About the series
In 1999, DC Comics published the four-issue miniseries Ball and Chain, a supernatural crime drama from writer Scott Lobdell and artist Alé Garza. The story follows a down-on-his-luck man who, after a bizarre encounter, finds himself bonded to a mysterious, powerful woman with a dark secret. Lobdell and Garza blend gritty urban fantasy with a noirish tone, creating a compact, character-driven thriller that stands as a distinctive, if brief, entry in late-90s DC's more experimental vein.
