Marvel 1602 #4

Neil Gaiman's Marvel 1602 reaches its fourth chapter with a cover by Scott McKowen that's a genuine showstopper — a blindfolded archer rendered in rich, engraving-style linework draws a longbow against a golden, storm-streaked sky, a vivid red ribbon swirling dramatically around the title. The woodcut-inspired artwork gives the whole image the feel of a 17th-century broadsheet brought vividly to life, perfectly in tune with the series' Elizabethan-era reimagining of Marvel's heroes. With a chapter title promising explanations and hard consequences, Part Four feels like a pivotal moment in one of 2004's most distinctive Marvel projects.
