The Spider #6

The Spider cuts an imposing figure on this cover by John Cassaday — a lone, broad-shouldered vigilante in a long coat and wide-brimmed hat, his web-patterned black cape billowing against a glittering city skyline at dusk. There's a quiet menace to the composition, half the hero's face cast in shadow, that captures everything compelling about pulp crime fiction brought to vivid life. David Liss and Colton Worley's 2012 Dynamite series continues here with issue six, and if this cover is any indication, the tone remains bracingly moody.
