Shattered Image #3

Shattered Image #3 brings together a striking crowd of Image Universe characters on Cully Hamner's cover, where a green-skinned figure in a business suit strides forward alongside a massive red-skinned brute, a wide-eyed redhead, and a host of other colorful heroes and villains swirling around them. The sense of converging worlds — suggested by the torn white edges framing the composition — makes this crossover event feel genuinely consequential. With Kurt Busiek and Barbara Kesel scripting and Dan Norton and Sandra Hope handling interiors, this 1996 series brings real craft to one of Image's most ambitious universe-spanning stories.
