Hitman #54

Part two of "Closing Time" arrives in this October 2000 installment of Garth Ennis and John McCrea's gritty DC series. McCrea's cover puts three armed figures front and center against a wall of fire — a red-haired woman with a pistol and a cigarette, a shirtless masked man with fists clenched, and a sunglasses-wearing gunman in a green coat who looks ready for serious trouble. It's a tense, attitude-packed image that sets the stage for whatever reckoning this arc has been building toward.
