Complimenting his gritty and unforgiving style is Michael Gaydos naturalistic art.

Gaydos draws Hettinger with a brutality that complements the characters own feelings of ugliness both superficially and internally.

His Philadelphia is one rich with shadows and emptiness.

Its a place where the American Dream hasnt so much died as suddenly evaporated out of existence.

His photo-realistic backgrounds of the citys decay are doing the tourism board no favors, believe me.

The industry may not realize it yet, but Dark Circle Comics just became a major player.
