JSA #74

Hawkgirl stands resolute in the foreground, spear in hand, while the imposing winged figure of Hawkman looms behind her against a backdrop of vast dark wings — it's a striking composition from cover artist Alex Ross that radiates both tension and mythic grandeur. This August 2005 issue ties into DC's "Day of Vengeance" event, with Geoff Johns, Leonard Kirk, and Keith Champagne delivering the second chapter of "Black Vengeance." The pairing of these two hawk-themed warriors on one cover makes for a genuinely compelling snapshot of the JSA at a dramatic crossroads.
