Jinx

Bendis’s black-and-white crime series began at Caliber in 1996 before continuing elsewhere. Its title character takes dangerous jobs while thieves, fugitives and shifting loyalties complicate the chase.

The early creator-owned work shows Bendis testing the dialogue and moral ambiguity that became central to his crime fiction.

Bounty-hunter noir and hardboiled caper.

High-contrast pages, close faces and extended conversations give encounters a tense, low-budget film feel.
