The Army of Darkness 1979 #3 – Cover D Sayger Variant (2021) delivers a haunting and atmospheric take on the cult classic horror-action franchise. This variant, illustrated by the uniquely expressive Szymon Sayger, stands out with its moody, textured aesthetic. Sayger’s abstract, almost chaotic style offers a visceral portrayal of Ash Williams like no other — capturing the madness, horror, and relentless action of the series in a single eye-catching piece of cover art.

The story, penned by Rodney Barnes, continues to escalate as Ash navigates the blood-soaked backstreets of 1979 Brooklyn. The influence of the Necronomicon spreads deeper into the criminal underworld, merging gang violence with demonic possession. What makes this series so engaging is the way it fuses grindhouse sensibilities with supernatural horror — and this issue doesn’t pull any punches.

Inside, the artwork by Tom Garcia matches the chaotic energy of Sayger’s cover, with a gritty, shadow-heavy aesthetic that reflects the nightmarish cityscape our anti-hero must survive. Every scene is a brutal blend of Deadite terror, street-level showdowns, and the sardonic wit only Ash Williams can deliver. It’s a creative and brutal twist on time-travel horror that long-time fans and newcomers alike will appreciate.

The Cover D Sayger Variant isn’t just another alternate design — it’s a work of art that taps into the psychological tension and stylised violence that defines Army of Darkness. Ideal for collectors of unique, painterly covers or those following every twist in the 1979 arc, this variant offers a grunge-inspired contrast to the more polished styles seen on other editions.
