Doc Savage #12

Doc Savage presses his face through iron bars with gritted teeth and fierce determination — it's an arresting image that puts the Man of Bronze squarely behind bars and clearly straining to break free. This is Part Two of "Sunlight Rising," with the interior story titled "Escape from Solitude!" — a combination that promises exactly the kind of desperate, high-stakes tension the cover so vividly sells. Andy Kubert's cover pencils and inks deliver a raw, close-quarters intensity that makes this September 1989 DC issue hard to put down unread.
