Peter Panzerfaust #23

Two battered, worn-down figures huddle in a dim brick cell — one seated and shirtless with bandaged hands, the other standing close by with a cigarette, both wearing the kind of weathered caps that have become synonymous with Kurtis J. Wiebe and Tyler Jenkins's WWII adventure series. The muted earth tones and harsh spotlight give the scene a quietly tense, almost theatrical weight that speaks to the series' knack for grounding its larger-than-life story in raw human cost. Issue twenty-three arrives in 2015 as Peter Panzerfaust continues to be one of Image's most compelling war-era dramas.
