Proposition Player

    (Vertigo, 1999-2000)
™ and ©2000 William Willingham

Proposition player Joseph Francis Martin of the Thunder Road Casino is a two-timing jerk who doesn’t know when he’s well off. Thanks to a bet, he purchased thirty-two souls for the price of one beer each. The only problem is, souls are getting more valuable. Enter Bill, an angel claiming to be from Heaven, and Mary, from the other side of the tracks. Both are limited in what they can do, but what they want are the soul contracts Joey is keeping. Joey’s sometime girlfriend Lacy wavers between trusting him or beating his face in, but now she’s being pulled into the conflict and who knows who will win in the end.

Like most Vertigo stories, the language and art aim this title toward more adult audiences.
