Hammer of God: Butch

In this three-issue 1994 Dark Horse miniseries, writer Mike Baron and artist Shea Anton Pensa deliver a gritty, character-driven crime drama centered on a no-nonsense vigilante known only as Butch. Operating in a world of corruption and violence, the story explores themes of justice and retribution through its tough, morally ambiguous protagonist. A notable early work from the independent publisher, it showcases Baron’s knack for hardboiled storytelling and Pensa’s stark, atmospheric visuals.
