Where it came from
Queen & Country, issue five, represents the conclusion of the first story arc, 'Operation: Broken Ground,' written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Brian Hurtt. Published by Oni Press in 2001, this series emerged as a gritty, grounded take on the espionage genre, stripping away the glamour typically associated with international spy fiction to focus on the bureaucratic, moral, and physical toll of field work for the British Secret Intelligence Service.
The visual direction for this issue leaned into a stark, realistic aesthetic intended to mirror the tension of Rucka's writing. Brian Hurtt’s line work was specifically selected to convey the bleakness of the protagonist Tara Chace's world. Upon release, the series was well-regarded by critics for its meticulous attention to operational detail and its uncompromising character study, eventually winning the Eisner Award for Best Serialized Story.
