Doc Savage #7

Part of DC's First Wave pulp-hero revival, Doc Savage #7 carries the arc subtitle "Belly of the Beast" into chapter "Into the Dark," with writing duties shared by Iván Brandon and Brian Azzarello. J. G. Jones's cover plants the bronze adventurer in a sun-baked desert landscape, crouched in tense readiness before a rising cobra while an armed group of figures approaches in the dusty background — and a chained, grimacing man looms ominously in the foreground. The sense of danger closing in from every direction makes this a genuinely gripping piece of pulp-adventure cover art, with Nic Klein handling the full interior art chores.
