Captain America #29

Captain America #29 brings a visceral, kinetic energy to its cover, with Steve Rogers hunkered low behind his star-spangled shield as a massive, monstrous creature looms and erupts behind him in a burst of pink and crimson energy. Andy Kubert's pencils and Scott Hanna's inks give the scene tremendous physical weight — Cap's muscles tensed, debris flying outward, and that hulking alien-like beast dominating the upper half of the composition with unsettling menace. Titled "The Savage Man," this 2000 Marvel issue promises a brutal confrontation that the cover's charged atmosphere sells convincingly.
