Age of Bronze #4

A single outstretched hand cradling a luminous golden apple — it's a deceptively simple image that carries the weight of an entire mythological catastrophe. Eric Shanower's cover for this 1999 installment of Age of Bronze: The Story of the Trojan War distills one of antiquity's most fateful objects into something immediate and tangible, glowing against a soft blue field. For readers following Shanower's meticulous retelling of the Trojan War saga, this quietly powerful image speaks volumes about the events unfolding within.
