Union Jack #2

The second chapter of this 1999 three-issue Marvel series puts Britain's most determined street-level hero front and center — Union Jack crouches in a combat-ready stance, pistol in one hand and blade in the other, as a massive, snarling bat-creature looms out of the shadows behind him. The tagline "From the Shadows… Blood!" makes the stakes unmistakably clear. John Cassaday's cover art is crisp and atmospheric, pairing the Union Jack costume's bold graphic design against an eerie blue backdrop that gives the lurking monster a genuinely unsettling presence.
