'68 Jungle Jim #4

The fourth and final issue of this Image miniseries wraps up with a cover that doesn't hold back — a massive, rotting zombie ape looms in close-up, its bulging eyes and gnashing teeth filling the frame, while a second undead primate surges below and gas-masked soldiers scramble amid billowing explosions in the background. Jeff Zornow's linework brings a ferocious, almost tactile decay to every grotesque detail, set against a sky lit up in apocalyptic amber. If the title "Hellhole: And the Shotgun Sings the Song" wasn't enough of a promise, this cover makes clear that '68 Jungle Jim's conclusion is going out swinging.
