Tor #3

Issue three of Joe Kubert's six-part DC miniseries takes the prehistoric hero Tor into cavern depths with the ominous chapter title "Underworld." Kubert's cover — penciled and inked entirely by his own hand — pulls you right into the confrontation: Tor and a companion face down a massive, spined aquatic beast whose coiling tentacles fill the rocky underground space, while pale, ghostly figures lurk at the bottom of the frame. With Kubert handling every creative role from writing to coloring (alongside Pete Carlsson), this issue is a remarkable showcase of one creator's singular vision of a primordial world teeming with genuine danger.
