Space Bandits #3

Space Bandits #3 delivers another round of sci-fi outlawry from writer Mark Millar and artist Matteo Scalera, and the cover sets the tone beautifully. Scalera's cover art assembles a striking crew of armed rogues across a ruined, otherworldly landscape — a cool-eyed figure lighting a cigarette in the foreground, a hat-wearing bandit leveling a shotgun in the middle distance, and two more armed figures lurking in the shadows behind them. It's a tense, atmospheric composition that captures the series' gritty, pulpy spirit perfectly.
