Cable #43

Cable dominates this May 1997 cover in a striking split composition — his left side rendered in blue-and-gold armor, his right side gleaming with cybernetic metal, a burst of orange energy cutting diagonally across his powerful frame. The tagline "The Legend of the Askani'Son!" sets an appropriately mythic tone for "Broken Soldiers," the story waiting inside. Randy Green's pencils and Scott Hanna's inks give Cable a commanding, dual-natured presence that captures the character's enduring tension between humanity and machine.
