Hero for Hire #3
“Mark of the Mace!”
In "Mark of the Mace!", Luke Cage faces off against the volatile ex-colonel Mace, who's plotting a violent takeover of New York City to set up a Wall Street heist. Archie Goodwin's sharp scripting and George Tuska's dynamic art bring the tension to life, with Billy Graham's inks lending grit to every page—both inside and on the cover, where Graham's bold pencils and inks set the tone.
