Bizarre Adventures #31

Marvel's Bizarre Adventures #31 takes "A Hard Look at Violence" head-on, as boldly declared on this striking 1982 cover painted by Joe Jusko — and the image delivers on that promise. A confident blonde woman in red stands against a gritty brick wall, draped in an open coat bristling with an arsenal: submachine gun, shotgun, pistols, grenades, and a holstered sidearm all within easy reach. Inside, Denny O'Neil and Frank Miller team up on "The Philistine," making this a magazine-format package that pairs a memorable cover with a genuinely compelling creative duo.
