'76 #2

Set against the golden haze of a 1970s California sunset, this second issue of Image's '76 delivers a cover bursting with period flavor — a mosaic of characters including a coiled martial artist in a track suit squaring off against a sharp-dressed blond, framed by portrait panels of a woman in a headband, a hulking menacing figure, stacks of cash, and a group of onlookers. Ed Tadem's cover art captures the era's gritty street energy with warmth and style, evoking blaxploitation cinema and 70s crime drama in equal measure. B. Clay Moore and Tadem's collaboration looks to be a love letter to the decade, and "Chapter Two" promises to keep the intrigue rolling.
