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 cliché.

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.
