Before Watchmen. Before Sin City. There was Leo Derek.
In 1984, brothers James and Joshua Stewart self-published a large-format, black-and-white pulp graphic novel under the name Wrecking Row Comics. It was gritty, fast-paced, and drawn with a brush dipped in danger.
Then — it disappeared.
Decades later, comic archivists and fans uncovered it again: Leo Derek: In The Heart of Danger, a bold thriller full of femmes fatales, fast cars, and fearless brushwork.
Now, Power Pulp Comics is bringing this cult classic back into the light — with each rare copy hand-signed by illustrator Joshua Stewart himself.
This is not a reprint.
This is the original 1984 edition — printed once, never reissued, and now unearthed.

What Fans Are Saying
“This is a vintage relic from a bygone age of scrappy 80s comickers…
… James and Joshua Stewart made something timeless before its time.
If you long for comics that eschew the over-rendered, overly plastic, cowls and capes — get yourself a copy.”
