Jack Staff #4

Paul Grist's bold, energetic cover for this 2003 Image issue announces "Britain's Greatest Hero!" with a dynamic mid-air collision between Jack Staff and a blue-masked figure amid an explosion of debris and fiery orange. Below, three characters are introduced in deadpan sidebar fashion — Commander Malone, Commander Hawkes, and Commander Stewart — each convinced they have the situation figured out, with the cover cheerfully undercutting them all: "They're all wrong!" It's a wonderfully confident, character-packed presentation that makes Jack Staff #4, featuring the story "Hurricane," genuinely hard to put down unread.
