Deadman #4

The fourth issue of DC's 1985 Deadman miniseries delivers an intense confrontation right on the cover, with Boston Brand's pale, ghostly form grappling violently against a green-jacketed figure — the word balloons "I Won't Let You Kill Me Again!" and "Not Again, Hook..." making the stakes immediately clear, while a small shadowy figure watches from below. Neal Adams, handling both writing and art duties throughout, brings his signature kinetic draftsmanship to the cover as well, rendering the struggle with visceral energy against a blazing orange background. "How Close to Me My Killer?" is a title that promises tension, and this issue looks every bit the part.
