Doc Savage #2

The second chapter of DC's four-part Doc Savage mini-series arrives in December 1987 with a cover by Andy and Adam Kubert that crackles with tension — a red-shirted, auburn-haired Doc Savage stands dominant against a moonlit city skyline, a pistol raised in one hand while he looms over a grotesque fallen figure in the foreground and armed allies scramble in the background. Writer Dennis O'Neil teams with the Kuberts to bring "Cities of Fear" to life, and this cover makes a strong case for why this pulp hero's transition to comics deserved your attention in 1987.
