Streets of Glory #3 – Wraparound Cover – 2007 intensifies the grim, unfiltered Western saga penned by Garth Ennis and published by Avatar Press. In this third chapter, Ennis delves further into the psychological toll of violence and the dying mythos of the American frontier through the eyes of his ageing, battle-hardened protagonist, Joseph R. Dunn.
As the narrative unfolds, Dunn is confronted with not just the lawlessness of the expanding West, but also the complex motivations of those who claim to be civilising it. The tension between Dunn’s old-world code and the brutal, sometimes hypocritical authority of the new order is palpable. Ennis’s writing remains sharp and direct, crafting a portrait of a man shaped by war, hardened by years of survival, and increasingly alienated by the modernisation creeping across the land.
This wraparound cover edition elevates the collector's appeal significantly. Mike Wolfer’s artwork stretches fluidly across the front and back, presenting a panoramic scene that captures the series' raw energy and stark Western landscapes. The illustration enhances the gritty realism of the story, immersing readers in a world where blood and dust settle on every page. Characters are rendered with unflinching detail, and the harsh environment they inhabit is etched with a sense of desolation that complements the series’ themes.
In this issue, the pace is steady but deliberate. More layers of Dunn’s past are peeled back, revealing emotional scars as deep as his physical ones. We begin to see the moral grey areas that define the people around him—settlers, soldiers, killers, and townsfolk alike. Everyone, it seems, is surviving by their own broken code. Ennis doesn’t write heroes; he writes people—flawed, dangerous, and driven by deeply personal convictions.
Perfect for collectors of revisionist Western comics and fans of morally complex storytelling, this edition is more than just another instalment—it’s a continuation of a brutal, honest vision of a fading way of life.
