Marked for Murder

A grim eight-issue series from Thorpe & Porter, Marked for Murder (1965–present) follows a lone protagonist marked by a mysterious symbol, pursued through shadowy urban landscapes. The series is notable for its stark, pulp-inspired crime storytelling and the anonymous illustration style that defined its gritty, no-frills visual identity. Though short-lived, it remains a curious artifact of mid-60s British comics, offering a cold, efficient snapshot of the era's hardboiled sensibilities.
