The Dead Hand #4

The cover of The Dead Hand #4 strikes a bold, Soviet-propaganda-poster aesthetic — warm parchment tones, red stars, and a raised-fist emblem framing a sharp-eyed young woman in glasses who holds a pistol with quiet confidence, her jacket covered in band patches including Pearl Jam and Nirvana. The design work by Higgins, Mooney, Bellaire, and Cowles gives this 2018 Image series a genuinely distinctive Cold War atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and tense. If you've been following this series, issue four looks like it's keeping the intrigue firmly dialed up.
