The Last Phantom #4

Dynamite's modern reimagining of the legendary Ghost Who Walks reaches its fourth chapter with a cover that's all brooding intensity — the Phantom's broad, red-caped back fills the frame, his iconic skull rings gleaming on both hands as he grips two pistols, while his faithful white horse and wolf companion flank him on either side. The skull emblem at his belt and the dripping logo above reinforce that this is a Phantom stripped down to his most elemental, dangerous self. With cover art by Alex Ross and Fabiano Neves and "Ghost Ship" promising nautical stakes within, this 2011 installment of Scott Beatty's run is a striking package from any angle.
