Guns of the Dragon #2

Timothy Truman's pulp-adventure series roars into its second chapter with a cover that throws everything at you at once — a red biplane swarming with attacking pterodactyls, its passengers firing back as a figure in aviator gear tumbles through the chaos below. Spotlighted in circular portraits on the left are two featured players: the sharp-eyed Miss Fear, pistol in hand, and the masked, blade-wielding Kung. It's a gloriously kinetic image from Truman, whose pencils and inks crackle with the kind of lost-world energy that made 1998 feel like a great time to be reading DC's pulpier corners.
