Hitman #30

Part two of the five-part "Tommy's Heroes" arc arrives in this September 1998 installment of DC's darkly comedic series from Garth Ennis and John McCrea. McCrea's cover pulls no punches, depicting a caped, skull-chested bruiser hauling a battered figure up by the collar while thorny green vines ensnare another bloodied combatant below, all as a dark-haired woman in a red rose-adorned dress looks on with cool detachment. It's a vivid snapshot of the chaotic company Tommy Monaghan keeps — equal parts gritty superhero clash and gleeful mayhem.
