Cable #57

Cable finds himself caught between two formidable adversaries on this August 1998 cover — the armored time-lord Rama-Tut looms large on the right, staff raised and Egyptian regalia gleaming, while a red-clad figure drives a fist toward Cable from behind. The tagline "And the Pharaoh Shall Ascend!" sets a suitably grand tone for whatever clash awaits inside. Cover pencils by José Ladrönn and inks by Juan Vlasco give the scene a kinetic, hard-hitting energy that fits Cable's gritty corner of the Marvel Universe perfectly.
