Outlaws #2

Part of DC's eight-issue miniseries subtitled The Legend of the Man Called Hood, this 1991 issue brings the band of modern-day outlaws together in striking fashion. Luke McDonnell's cover plants a green-hooded archer dead center — bow drawn, arrow at the ready — while a diverse crew of armed companions fans out behind him: a red-jacketed fighter, a soldier in camouflage gear, a long-haired young man, a rifle-toting woman, and a bandana-wearing figure among them, all silhouetted against a stark tangle of winter branches and an electric blue sky. With "The Hunt" as the interior story title, this issue from Friedman and McDonnell promises tension and teamwork in equal measure.
