The Mercenary Sea #4

The cover of The Mercenary Sea #4 sets a moody, atmospheric tone — a column of armed soldiers and a horse silhouetted against a blazing orange-and-green sunset crosses a bridge above a jungle waterway, while a lone armed figure moves stealthily through the dense foliage below. Mathew Reynolds renders the whole scene in rich, layered silhouettes that give it the feel of a wartime adventure pulp come to life. With Kel Symons writing and a story titled "Mad Dogs and Englishmen," this 2014 Image series continues to look like one of the more stylish action-adventure books on the shelf.
