“Hardboiled Hangover”

Part of DC's 1997 "Pulp Heroes" event, this JLA Annual reimagines the World's Greatest Heroes through a gritty, hardboiled lens — and the cover by Gary Gianni makes that tone unmistakable. A green-skinned, bald figure in a tank top levels a revolver directly at the viewer, an enormous skull looming in the smoky, hellish background behind him. Writer Brian Augustyn and artist Gene Ha bring "Hardboiled Hangover" to life inside, promising the kind of noir-soaked atmosphere that Gianni's moody painted cover so effectively sets up.
