James Bond: Felix Leiter #1

Dynamite's 2017 miniseries puts Bond's trusted CIA ally front and center, and this striking opening issue makes a bold case for Felix Leiter as a headliner in his own right. Mike Perkins's cover depicts a blond, square-jawed Leiter aiming a pistol directly at the viewer with his prosthetic hand gripping the weapon — composed against a dramatic red circle — while a mysterious woman holding a dagger appears silhouetted above him. It's a tense, elegantly composed image that signals both the espionage thrills and the dangerous company that await inside.
