Army@Love #9

Rick Veitch and Gary Erskine's cover for this January 2008 Vertigo series pays unmistakable homage to the Abbey Road album cover — four figures, including armed soldiers in helmets and a hooded prisoner, stride across a zebra crossing while a war-torn city street erupts in flames, overturned vehicles, and billowing smoke behind them. It's a genuinely witty juxtaposition of pop-culture nostalgia and combat-zone chaos, perfectly in tune with the series' satirical sensibility. "Fools Rush In" continues Rick Veitch's sharp-edged take on love, war, and the machinery that sells both.
