(New Talent) Showcase #19, page 2 -- Darwyn Cooke's 1st published comics work! (1985)

Gritty, noirish page from Darwyn Cooke's first published comic work for DC Comics in 1985, the 5-page story: "Ten Thou in Small Bills - or Girl Dies!" Darwyn wrote the story and did the pencils. Amazing how much of his style shines through in this super early work in a career that was sadly much too short.

You can see the whole published silent, dialogue-free story here:
