Hercules: Prince of Power #[nn]

Against a stark black background, the mighty Hercules dominates the cover in a wide, powerful stance — muscles rippling, golden-banded wrists raised, and a gleaming mace clutched in one fist as he wears his distinctive gold-buckled belt and colorful costume. Bob Layton's linework gives the Prince of Power a bold, larger-than-life presence that feels perfectly suited to the character's legendary bravado. This 2009 Marvel collection is a fine showcase of Layton's work with one of mythology's greatest heroes translated into the Marvel Universe.
