Espers #5

Greg Horn's cover for Espers #5 pulls no punches: a shirtless, bare-knuckle fighter charges forward gripping a knife in one hand and a firearm in the other, teeth bared with furious intensity, while a towering urban high-rise blazes with light and smoke behind him. It's a visceral, street-level image that sets a gritty, desperate tone perfectly suited to the story title "The Bad Job." James D. Hudnall and Greg Horn's 1997 Image series continues to deliver the kind of tense, noir-edged action that keeps readers turning pages.
