And it’s Bob McLeod to take us into the home stretch on cover inks! Another sharp pairing for Alex. Man, “The New Kingpin.” The audacity of finding out Kingpin is going to…

Al Williamson! The master’s subtle inks and thin lines actually do the best job yet of bringing Alex in line with the emerging 90s sensibilities despite Al being in the biz since…
