The Deadly Duo #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFrom Image Comics in 1995, this first issue of The Deadly Duo announces itself with a striking cover by John Cleary — a caped, masked figure dominates the scene, billowing red cloak spread wide as glowing green chains swirl around them against a burst of radiating energy. Below, a chaotic graveyard brawl unfolds, with armored combatants clashing amid tombstones, fire, and scattered skulls. With Erik Larsen and Gary Carlson co-writing and Cleary handling both pencils and inks, it's a bold, kinetic opening chapter from the wild creative era of mid-'90s Image.
