Hawkworld #3

The concluding chapter of Timothy Truman's Hawkworld trilogy arrives with a cover that commands attention — a gaunt, hawk-nosed figure with a single unsettling crimson eye dominates the frame in close profile, silhouetted against a burnt-orange sky filled with wheeling black birds. Truman's cover art is rendered with a gritty, painterly intensity that gives this 1989 DC release a genuinely otherworldly atmosphere. "Phoenix Flight" promises a dramatic finale, and that brooding, alien face staring off into a darkening sky makes it impossible not to want to see what follows.
