Cage #5

Richard Corben's cover for this 2002 Marvel MAX installment is a striking close-up of a grinning mouth, the series title spelled out in gold teeth across the smile — bold, unsettling, and impossible to ignore. Brian Azzarello and Corben bring their uncompromising sensibilities to "Cage Part Five," and the cover's raw, confrontational composition sets the tone perfectly. If you've been following this MAX series, issue five delivers exactly the kind of unflinching attitude the creative team has made their signature.
