Airboy Archives #5

Timothy Truman's cover for this fifth volume sets a moody, atmospheric tone — a towering, spectral woman armed with a tommy gun and a raised pistol looms over a determined blond young man in his red-and-gold uniform, while a flock of dark birds scatters against a stormy blue sky. It's a beautifully composed image that captures the pulpy, aviation-adventure spirit the Airboy series is known for. At $29.99, this IDW archive edition promises a generous collection of material for fans and newcomers alike.
