Oliver is no stranger to Vertigo, with The Exterminators and Hellblazer, and his ability to pace stories that veer from the ordinary is phenomenal to behold. However, as nimble as he is at pacing a story, Oliver’s authentic dialogue and character-building keep me returning to his work again and again. Dayglo’s art marries beautifully to Oliver’s wordsmithery, designing characters and locales that have a dynamism that prevent the reader from ever becoming bored or complacent.
Last Gang in Town #4, written by Simon Oliver with Rufus Dayglo on art, hits newsstands Wednesday from DC Comics/Vertigo.
From the official issue description:
Now that the gang has passed their first tests and sewn the seeds of sedition among the London populace, it’s time to disrupt the Queen’s Silver Jubilee good and proper. Back in 1977, the streets will shake and the whole of England will be upended by their scheme, but what kind of implications will that have for our thieves in the present day?
