The Spider #12

Against a blood-red background splintered with bullet holes, the Spider looms in full vigilante regalia — wide-brimmed hat bearing his spider emblem, web-mask with glowing red eyes, and twin pistols raised and ready. Francesco Francavilla's cover art for this 2013 Dynamite Entertainment issue captures the pulp avenger at his most atmospheric and menacing, all deep shadows and grim purpose. With David Liss writing and Ivan Rodriguez on interior art, this twelfth chapter delivers the noir-drenched tension the series does so well.
