The Phantom #2

The Ghost Who Walks leaps straight into the crossfire on Luke McDonnell's kinetic cover for this April 1989 DC series — the Phantom charges through a warehouse stacked with crates marked "Explosives," "Napalm," and "Nitroglycerin," twin laser blasts converging on him from both sides as fiery explosions erupt all around. It's a vivid snapshot of the danger awaiting in "Guns, Part Two," Mark Verheiden's continuing story that puts the purple-suited hero in the thick of some very volatile stakes. McDonnell's dynamic linework gives the scene real urgency, making this second issue of DC's new-format series a compelling pick for any fan of the legendary jungle hero.
