Hawk and Dove #4

The cover of this September 1989 issue says it all — a pair of smug, well-dressed gangsters flanking a glamorous woman in purple fur, all of them laughing off Hawk and Dove's attempts to stop them while bills scatter at their feet. Dove looks on warily from the left while a scowling Hawk looms at the right, and the trio's boastful speech bubbles ("…Untouchable! Haw Haw Haw!") set up what promises to be a delightfully crime-flavored romp. Cover pencils by Greg Guler and inks by Karl Kesel give the whole scene a confident, pop-art energy that perfectly suits the Kesels' fun, fast-paced take on DC's dynamic duo.
