“Arabian Knights”

In "Arabian Knights," the Checkmate team faces a high-stakes mission in the Middle Eastern nation of Qurac, where an international smuggling ring is funneling weapons to a hidden cache. With the Knights working together under pressure, they dismantle the operation—only to face a shocking loss when Winston appears to be killed in the explosion. Written by Paul Kupperberg and illustrated by Steve Erwin, with inks by Al Vey, colors by Nansi Hoolahan, and letters by Gaspar, the issue’s cover by Gil Kane captures the tension of the mission in striking detail.
