Doctor Spectrum #4

The fourth chapter of "Full Spectrum" arrives in this 2005 Marvel MAX series, with cover pencils by Gary Frank and inks by Mark Morales delivering a striking double image of Doctor Spectrum — his larger, intense figure looming behind with glowing white eyes and a dark glove bearing the multicolored power prism — while a smaller, battle-worn version of the same blonde man crouches in the foreground armed with an assault rifle amid a jungle silhouette. It's a cover that quietly raises questions about identity and inner conflict without giving anything away. Writer Samm Barnes and artist Travel Foreman continue their mature-readers take on the character through the penultimate stretch of this six-part story.
