Streets of Glory #4 – Wraparound Cover – 2008 propels Garth Ennis’ searing Western narrative into darker, more dangerous territory as the emotional and physical stakes intensify for Joseph R. Dunn, the ageing gunslinger grappling with a world that no longer fits his brutal code. Published by Avatar Press, this instalment further deepens the bleak realism and moral complexity that define the series.
By issue four, the tone has fully shifted from grim reflection to escalating conflict. Ennis skillfully tightens the plot’s tension as Dunn is drawn into a confrontation that will test not just his survival instincts but his convictions. As the so-called “civilised” society closes in, Ennis exposes the hypocrisy of the institutions attempting to tame the West—often proving more ruthless than the outlaws they condemn. The writing remains sharp, unsentimental, and utterly absorbing, showing Ennis at his best when deconstructing power structures and glorified violence.
The wraparound cover once again showcases Mike Wolfer’s gritty, evocative artwork, offering a cinematic view that frames the desolate atmosphere of the series. This panoramic design adds striking visual continuity for collectors and immerses readers deeper into Dunn’s weathered, unforgiving world. The detailed linework and stark composition are a powerful companion to Ennis’s tone, balancing violence and stillness with visual weight and raw emotion.
This issue pushes Dunn toward an inevitable reckoning—not just with his enemies, but with the man he’s become after decades of bloodshed and survival. Themes of disillusionment, justice, and isolation pulse throughout the story, presenting readers with a Western that is far from romanticised. Instead, it’s an unflinching meditation on how men like Dunn are discarded by the very society they helped shape.
A must-have for fans of dark, mature frontier storytelling, Streets of Glory #4 (Wraparound Cover) stands as a compelling continuation of one of the most grounded and uncompromising Western comics of the 2000s. The wraparound edition adds both visual and collector value, making it a standout addition to any serious graphic novel or Ennis collection.
