Garth Ennis

    16 gennaio 1970

    Garth Ennis è un acclamato scrittore di fumetti noto per il suo approccio audace e spesso provocatorio al genere. Le sue opere sono caratterizzate da personaggi complessi, temi oscuri e un senso dell'umorismo unico, frequentemente ambientate in cupi scenari sociali o storici. Ennis esplora senza timore i confini della violenza, della fede e della natura umana, guadagnandosi la reputazione di spingere i limiti della narrazione a fumetti. La sua capacità di mescolare azione intensa, satira pungente e profondo dramma umano consolida la sua posizione come voce distintiva nel fumetto moderno.

      "Tommy Monaghan has made a few enemies in his time -- it's an occupational hazard for any professional hitman. But while Tommy's special abilities (x-ray vision, telepathy, a winning smile) have brought him many profitable assignments, they've also put him on the bad side of some particularly unforgiving and vengeful demons. Fortunately, Tommy has friends in low places, and their firepower -- if not their sobriety -- rivals that of your average S.W.A.T. team. Unfortunately, while Tommy's human allies are (mostly) trustworthy, the same can't be said for a certain rhyming hellspawn who holds the key to everyone's survival in his sulfurous hands."--Volume 4 cover
