Hero for Hire #8
In "Crescendo!", Luke Cage takes on a high-stakes job tracking down thieves who've stolen sensitive secrets from Dr. Doom—only to discover the villain has vanished, leaving Luke with nothing but a $200 bill he never got. Steve Englehart’s sharp script and George Tuska’s dynamic art bring the gritty streets of 1973 New York to life, while Billy Graham’s cover captures the tension with bold, inky precision.
