Gravel #1 (2008) marks the explosive launch of the full-length series centred on William Gravel, the no-nonsense British soldier with a brutal edge and a mastery of the occult. Written by Warren Ellis in collaboration with Mike Wolfer, this issue picks up the momentum from the previous minis and zero issue, diving straight into the grit, violence, and supernatural mayhem that defines the character.
Gravel is no superhero—he’s a dangerous man with a military past and access to forbidden magics. As former allies turn into rivals and the mystical hierarchy of Britain begins to fracture, Gravel sets out on a mission to reclaim power and settle scores. Dark, unflinching, and loaded with occult intrigue, this debut issue blends modern horror with noir sensibilities, wrapped in Ellis’s trademark sharp dialogue and unapologetically raw storytelling.
Published by Avatar Press, this comic pulls no punches. Mike Wolfer’s artwork delivers gritty realism with a sharp edge, capturing the chaos and bloodshed of Gravel’s world. Fans of black ops thrillers with an arcane twist will find this first issue utterly compelling.
