Hitman #49

Part three of "The Old Dog" arrives in this May 2000 DC series, with John McCrea's cover delivering a full-on firefight exploding right out of Noonan's Sleazy Bar — a tight group of armed men and a woman blasting away amid a storm of muzzle flares and brass casings, while a figure in sunglasses leads the charge front and center. Garth Ennis and McCrea's Gotham underworld saga reaches its conclusion here, and that cover promises the kind of chaotic, hard-boiled showdown the series does so well.
