Hawk and Dove #14

This July 1990 issue puts a striking villainess front and center — a grinning, black-costumed woman with razor-sharp claws trailing bloody streaks across the cover, her teal hair and predatory stance making her an immediately unsettling presence. Clutched in her grip is a tiny, struggling figure, while Hawk and Dove themselves appear in the upper corner, clearly aware that the threat is very real. The tagline "Two Birds in the Hand…" says it all, and the cover art by Greg Guler and Karl Kesel delivers a genuinely tense image that pulls you straight into the "Prelude to War" story within.
