By: Bill Willingham (writer), Phil Jiminez (penciller), Andy Lanning (inker), Andrew Dalhouse (colorist) The Story: Hustlin’ ain’t an easy biz, even for the Prince of Thieves.

By: Scott Lobdell (writer), Brett Booth (penciller), Norm Rapmund (inker), Andrew Dalhouse (colorist) The Story: Cheer up, Wonder Girl. For some, it’s traditional to get beat up on New Year’s.

By: Scott Lobdell (writer), Brett Booth (penciller), Norm Rapmund (inker), Andrew Dalhouse (colorist) The Story: Presenting the fabulous entrance of Bunker!

By: Scott Lobdell (writer), Brett Booth (penciller), Norm Rapmund (inker), Andrew Dalhouse (colorist) The Story: All that talk about sewer mutants and mole people are just rumors, I swear!
