Roachmill #6

Dark Horse's mature-readers series rolls into its sixth issue with a striking high-contrast cover by Rich Hedden and Tom McWeeney — a bold silhouette of the imposing, no-roach-logo-bearing Roachmill standing astride two downed figures, armed with what appears to be a flaming weapon in one hand and a blade in the other. The stark black-and-white design, punctuated by sharp red accents, gives the whole thing a graphic, almost woodcut quality that's genuinely arresting on a spinner rack. With a story title as emphatic as "Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam!", Hedden and McWeeney are clearly not easing up on the throttle in 1989.
