The Dead Hand #5

This Image Comics series from 2018 delivers a striking cover that splits two weathered, intense faces — a grizzled older man and a masked, helmeted figure — across a bold red diagonal banner bearing the title. A radiating fist emblem anchors the lower half, reinforcing the series' Cold War thriller sensibility with sharp, high-contrast artwork from the creative team of Higgins, Mooney, Bellaire, and Cowles. If you've been following The Dead Hand, issue #5 keeps the tension coiled tight right through the cover alone.
