Garth Ennis

    16 janvier 1970

    Garth Ennis est un scénariste de bandes dessinées célébré, connu pour son approche audacieuse et souvent provocatrice du genre. Ses œuvres se caractérisent par des personnages complexes, des thèmes sombres et un sens de l'humour unique, fréquemment ancrés dans des contextes sociaux ou historiques âpres. Ennis explore sans crainte les limites de la violence, de la foi et de la nature humaine, se forgeant une réputation de pionnier repoussant les limites de la narration en bande dessinée. Sa capacité à mêler action intense, satire mordante et profond drame humain confirme sa position de voix distinctive dans la bande dessinée moderne.

      "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
