Inside Image #3

Inside Image #3 from May 1993 is Image Comics' promotional magazine at its most energetic, with a cover erupting in a full-blown explosion of fire, smoke, and chaotic machinery that practically leaps off the page. Front and center is a helmeted, armored figure — Trencher, as the cover text confirms — surrounded by swirling debris and wild kinetic energy in Keith Giffen's gloriously frenetic style. It's a free sampler that captures the anything-goes spirit of Image's early days, promising readers a look inside one of 1993's most creatively ambitious comics publishers.
