Chuck #4

The fourth chapter of WildStorm's six-part adaptation of the hit TV series leans into the show's playful spy-comedy spirit with a cover that puts a tuxedo-clad Chuck center stage, martini in hand, surrounded by four women in matching pink outfits against a bold orange-red cityscape. A collage of spy-thriller imagery — flags, a pistol, neon signs — fills the lower portion, setting a globe-trotting, Bond-inflected mood. With writing by Peter Johnson and Zev Borow and a stylish cover by Kristian Donaldson, this 2008 issue delivers the charm and intrigue that made the series such a fun watch.
