機動戦士ガンダム サンダーボルト [Kidou Senshi Gundam Thunderbolt] #8

Two massive mobile suits fill the frame of this volume 8 cover, their hulking forms pressed close together in a tense, almost suffocating composition — one bearing the distinctive Zeon emblem and the number 96 stamped boldly on its frame. The sheer density of weaponry on display, from multi-barreled gun emplacements to layered armor plating, captures the grinding, industrial brutality that defines the Thunderbolt sector of the One Year War. Artist 太田垣康男 (Yasuo Ohtagaki) brings a remarkable mechanical intensity to this entry in Shogakukan's celebrated run of the series.
