Savage Dragon #146

The cover of this 2009 Image title, rendered by Erik Larsen in stark black-and-white ink work against a fiery red-orange background, captures a chaotic, high-energy brawl with a masked figure driving a powerful punch downward into a mass of struggling combatants. The dramatic contrast between the crisp linework and the warm, explosive backdrop gives the scene a real sense of raw urgency. With a story titled "Ladykiller" inside, Savage Dragon #146 looks like an issue that isn't pulling any punches.
