King: The Phantom #4

Part of Dynamite's 2015 Kings Watch crossover universe, this fourth issue of King: The Phantom sets an atmospheric, primal tone with Jonathan Lau's striking cover — the purple-clad Ghost Who Walks emerges from the shadowy mouth of a cave, his eyes glowing white as a crowd of tribal warriors armed with spears surrounds him in a mix of awe and alarm. The tension between the Phantom's eerie stillness and the agitated figures encircling him captures everything compelling about this legendary jungle guardian. Written by Jeff Parker with art by Marc Laming and colors by Jordan Boyd, it's a handsome package for fans of pulp adventure done right.
