“Check and Mate”

In "Check and Mate," Jon Sable navigates a tense underworld in Iran, racing against time to reunite two American children with their mother after their father abducts them across the border. Written by Marv Wolfman and brought to life with sharp, grounded art by Bill Jaaska—inked by Ralph Cabrera and colored by Julia Lacquement—this 1988 issue delivers a taut, character-driven thriller with real stakes. The cover by Jaaska and Cabrera captures the story’s edge with a striking, shadowed portrait of Sable in the heat of his mission.
