I see Night Force comics in numerous dollar bins, and I've never really given them much thought. Just another obscure DC title from the early 80s that didn't make much of a splash.
Well, I will not be passing them over any more. This was a creepy and very strange comic, and I'm dying with curiosity to see what happens to the people trapped by the weird creature on the cover. The Night Force themselves don't really show up in this comic, either. The protagonist is a murderer who has been pressed into service by the mysterious Baron Winter to do battle against the creature. There's some really murky morality on display here, and the comic's not shy about addressing that fact.
It's Gene Colan on art, so you know it's going to be good. Apparently this series was the first time that Marv Wolfman and Colan collaborated again since Marvel's Tomb of Dracula, which, given the quality of this comic, I may actually have to see about reading. I'm sure I've got a couple of issues, at least.
Worth your time if you find this in a cheap box.
