The Call of Duty: The Wagon #4

The concluding chapter of Marvel's 2003 miniseries The Call of Duty: The Wagon brings its ground-level story of everyday heroism to a close with a cover by Danijel Žeželj that's quietly arresting — a female EMT in her Emergency Medical Service uniform, bag in hand, rendered in stark black-and-white linework against a deep crimson cityscape of bridges and streetlights. There's a weariness and resolve in her expression that feels earned, capturing the human cost behind the badge without a superhero in sight. Chuck Austen and Žeželj close out this four-issue series with the same unflinching, street-level tone that made it a distinctive corner of the Marvel universe.
