Elektra: The Hand #4

The fourth chapter of this 2005 Marvel miniseries centers its cover on a fierce, tattooed warrior in ornate dark robes, raising a curved blade overhead with a battle cry — a striking portrait rendered by Bill Sienkiewicz with his signature textured intensity against a warm amber ground. Japanese kanji characters flank the figure, echoing the issue's subtitle "The First Faults" and grounding the story firmly in the shadowy traditions of the Hand. With Akira Yoshida writing and Christian Gossett on interior art, this series continues its deep dive into the ancient history behind one of Marvel's most dangerous ninja organizations.
