Black Widow: The Things They Say About Her #[nn]

Natasha Romanoff crouches low in a striking black catsuit, pistol raised, framed by sweeping crimson curtains that part to reveal a sun-drenched street scene behind her — Bill Sienkiewicz's painted cover has a cinematic tension that feels more espionage thriller than superhero adventure. This 2006 Marvel collection gathers Richard K. Morgan's "The Things They Say About Her," with interior art by Sean Phillips inked by Bill Sienkiewicz, bringing a gritty, grounded sensibility to one of Marvel's most dangerous operatives. If you've ever wanted Black Widow treated with the seriousness she deserves, this creative team makes a compelling case.
