Chase #3

A striking cover by J. H. Williams III and Mick Gray frames this April 1998 installment of DC's Chase with cold-war dread — a menacing figure in a Soviet-style cap bearing a skull-adorned red star looms over a frightened blonde woman reflected in what appears to be a curved surface, all set against a deep red backdrop of gears and circuit patterns. The story title "Pickups" pairs with the cover's bold "Red Scare!" tagline to suggest tension and pursuit at the heart of this issue. With Williams III pulling double duty as both writer and artist alongside D. Curtis Johnson and inker Mick Gray, this series continues to deliver a sharp, design-forward sensibility that sets it apart from the DC lineup of its era.
