'68 #4

The penultimate issue of this four-part Image series drops us face-to-rotting-face with a decomposing soldier — helmet still on, a bandolier of ammunition draped across its chest, and that blood-dripping title logo leaving no doubt about the horror on offer. Nat Jones's cover art is genuinely unsettling, rendering the undead combatant in grim, meticulous detail right down to the milky eye and jagged, bared teeth. "Crossfire Hurricane" promises exactly the kind of Vietnam-era nightmare this series has built its reputation on, and with Jay Fotos's murky, oppressive colors amplifying every gruesome texture, this Cover A is a striking way to head into the finale.
