Goddess #3

Part three of Garth Ennis's eight-issue Vertigo series finds a fierce, wild-haired woman roaring forward on a massive motorcycle, her expression raw with fury as pursuers in a vehicle close in from behind under a dramatically lit night sky. Phil Winslade's painted cover work crackles with kinetic energy — the low-angle perspective on that thundering bike practically puts you in the road ahead of her. If you haven't been following this mature-readers road thriller, this August 1995 cover alone makes a compelling case to start.
