The Clowns (Dark Horse-1998)

P. Craig Russell, one of the most celebrated stylists in comics today, teams with rising star Galen Showman (Caliber's Renfield) to adapt one of theatre's greatest tales of betrayal, adultery, and murder. Taken from the Italian opera I Pagliacci, this special one-shot tells the story of a group of traveling performers driven against each other by conflicting desires, leading to a startling and bloody conclusion.
