Fence #8

Two fencers in white jackets stand back-to-back on this striking cover by HamletMachine — a dark-haired competitor gripping his foil in the foreground, his blonde, blue-eyed rival looming behind him — their body language radiating quiet intensity and unspoken rivalry. C.S. Pacat's Fence has been one of BOOM! Box's most compelling sports dramas of 2018, and issue eight keeps that momentum going with artwork that captures the charged dynamic between these two athletes with real elegance.
