Black Hammer '45 #3

Set against a blazing red-and-gold backdrop, a steely Soviet superheroine strides forward in hammer-and-sickle regalia, assault rifle in hand and a cool "Prepare to die" declaration floating beside her — while the looming face of a great bear materializes ominously behind her. The cover tagline, "If you mess with the Bear… you will get the Teeth!", sets a pulpy Cold War tone that fits perfectly within the Black Hammer universe's love of genre adventure. Matt Kindt's bold linework and Sharlene Kindt's vivid coloring make this 2019 issue a genuinely striking read on the shelf.
