Skulldigger and Skeleton Boy

In this grim six-issue Dark Horse series from 2019 to 2021, writer Jeff Lemire and artist Tonči Zonjić deliver a brutal, noir-inflected vigilante saga. The story follows a hulking, skull-faced crimefighter and the orphaned boy who becomes his unlikely sidekick in a decaying city where justice is meted out with savage finality. Zonjić's gritty, shadow-drenched artwork perfectly captures the bleak tone, making this a standout modern take on the dark hero tradition.
