Tor #4

The fourth chapter of Joe Kubert's six-issue prehistoric saga arrives subtitled "The Reckoning," and the cover — penciled and inked by Kubert himself — makes it clear the title carries real weight. Tor, long-haired and bare-chested, is engulfed in a savage brawl against multiple fur-clad, ape-like assailants, their tangled bodies framed dramatically by a stone archway against a burning orange sky. Kubert's raw, kinetic linework gives the scene an almost tactile ferocity, a reminder of why his vision of one man's struggle to survive a violent primordial world remains so compelling.
