NewMan #3

The cover of NewMan #3 (1996) makes an immediate impression: a powerfully built figure in a black-and-silver suit surges upward, fists raised, crackling blue-white energy wreathing his body against a dramatic backdrop of cratered planetary surfaces and a star-filled cosmos. Cover pencils by Dan Fraga and inks by Marlo Alquiza give the figure a raw, kinetic presence that feels very much at home in Image's mid-'90s aesthetic. With the story title "New Moon" and that otherworldly setting framing the action, this issue promises a cosmic-scale chapter in NewMan's ongoing saga.
