Hellshock is an 4 issue comic book series from the early days of Image comics written and drawn by Jae Lee. It is a great example of why so many early Image comics did not work. The art is great, (although some of it feels rushed) but like most of the image comics of that time, artists should not write their own comics. The story is short and incoherent and the dialogues are poorly written and clichΓ©.

Issue one has 14 pages of story and the rest is 18 pages of advertisment and art. Issue 4 promises an extra long finale and is just 22 pages... which, compared to issue 1 is indeed extra long.. but still..

Despite all that. Love Jae Lee's artwork.

πŸ‘ŠπŸ’₯ Double Dragon #1 hit comic shops in July 1991, bringing arcade action to the printed page!

Billy & Jimmy Lee stepped off the streets and into full-color chaos.

90s grit, martial arts mayhem, and totally tubular attitude.

Cover Date: July 1991: Deathlok #1 launches: part man, part machine, all ’90s rage.

Michael Collins didn’t sign up to be a killing machine... but they made him one. Now he’s fighting the system that built him.

A #daredevil drawing i did that screams "fill-in artist for a 90s comic that only sold because they had JrJr or Joe Mad draw #wolverine or #spiderman on the cover, and then ended up in a value pack at Costco."

Ideological differences are fine until they get to the point where they're drivin' people away, like ideological bigots or people advocatin' atrocities.
