In "Funny Money Part 2," Roger Dayton closes in on the counterfeit ring while tensions escalate at Checkmate headquarters, where Gary Washington and Harvey Bullock race to prevent Claymore from launching an unauthorized assault. Written by Paul Kupperberg and illustrated by John Statema, with inks by Al Vey, colors by Julianna Ferriter, and letters by Helen Vesik, this 1988 issue delivers high-stakes intrigue with a sharp edge. The cover, by Gil Kane, captures the moment’s intensity with his signature precision.
