Hardware #41

Hardware stands armored and battle-ready at the center of this cover, his tech suit gleaming as he's caught between two looming, larger-than-life figures — a furious, snarling man dominating the upper left and an enormous fist thrusting in from the right, with a third figure, an older man, caught in the struggle below. The tagline "Oedipal Action!" perfectly sets the tension on display, promising a conflict with some serious personal stakes. With cover art by Buzz and Caesar bringing real intensity to every face and fist, issue #41 of Milestone's Hardware is a striking entry in this mid-1990s series.
