Bloodwulf #3

Issue three of Image's Bloodwulf drops the fur-faced anti-hero right into the thick of it — the cover by Daerick Gröss Sr. shows the snarling, flame-maned Bloodwulf locked in a violent struggle with massive serpentine tentacles as churning ocean water crashes around him, his gun blazing mid-grapple. Gröss's dynamic linework captures real physical menace, with the coiling creature threatening to drag our armed protagonist under entirely. "Slippery When Wet" is a title that practically winks at you, and this 1995 Image series continues to deliver the kind of over-the-top action that made the era so entertaining.
