Hitman #15

Part one of "Ace of Killers" arrives in this June 1997 installment of Garth Ennis and John McCrea's fan-favorite series, and the cover makes an immediate impression — Tommy Monaghan leaps through a wall of fire, both pistols blazing, while enormous demonic claws reach up from below as playing cards and shell casings tumble through the smoky air. McCrea's kinetic linework captures the sheer chaos of the moment with real wit and energy, framing Tommy as a man perpetually outnumbered but never outgunned.
