“In Manhattan, They Play for Keeps”

Stepping out from the pages of Daredevil, Paladin makes his solo showcase in this 1978 Marvel Premiere spotlight, and Dave Cockrum and Joe Rubinstein's cover wastes no time making an impression — the gun-toting mercenary looms large in the foreground, purple-visored and grinning, while a chaotic urban firefight erupts behind him, with armed combatants, a leaping figure mid-battle, and a blonde woman caught in the crossfire. The cover copy says it all: "one man — one gun — stands between the city and the fury of Phantasm," setting the tone for Don McGregor's story, brought to life by Tom Sutton's art, with lettering from Gaspar Saladino and Bruce Patterson. If you've ever been curious about this self-styled super-soldier-of-fortune, this Manhattan-set adventure is a fine place to start.
