In the city tonight, someone hits a child. But someone else is watching. Outside the window, on the streets, there is a protector...an avenger...for the small and scared. He is The Retaliator. A boy himself, a child of violence, victimized by both the abusers and the system designed to protect him, The Retaliator is ready to carry out the mission he was created for...the punishment and death of those who would hurt the children. The avenging hand of The Retaliator is seeking out the damned, and the entire city of New York is paralyzed by fear and guilt. But his actions don't go unnoticed. The Retaliator's string of avenging murders catches the attention of veteran detective Oscar Levitz and crack journalist Jerry Schiller. When the paths of these three meet, it's a race against time for each. Written by Valarie Jones. Art by Tom Simonton and Gary Yap. Cover by Tim Bradstreet. B&W, 32 pg. Cover price $2.50.

Cops and robbers. Good guys and bad guys. Honest and dishonest. Black and white. That's what police detective Oscar Levitz used to think the law was all about. As he closes in on the trail of The Retaliator, he begins to have his doubts. Meanwhile, newspaper reporter Jerry Schiller is hot on another trail leading to The Retaliator. He's been dogging the streets for weeks now, and at long last when he least expects it, in an abandoned warehouse, they meet face to face. The Retaliator turns out not to be the comic book punisher Jerry was expecting, but something far more complex. Before he can investigate further, Oscar arrives with the cavalry and the warehouse turns into a shooting gallery. When the smoke clears, Oscar is down with a sucking chest would. The Retaliator's desperate leap off the rooftop may have resulted in his demise, rather than his escape. And Jerry Schiller is torn between his best friend and the tortured Johnny, between the written law and the unspoken law of the street. Written by Valarie Jones. Art by Tom Simonton and Jim Brozman. Cover by Tim Bradstreet. B&W, 32 pg. Cover price $2.50.
