Item #93624
Five issues each [32]pp., with semi-glossy color covers and color interior. One of the flagship titles of Marvel’s much-ballyhooed MAX imprint of mature readers’ material, Cage tells the story of a man prepared to “take care a’ things the police can’t,” dispensing a crude justice on the streets of inner-city New York. Actively eschewing the typical super-hero modus operandi, Cage accepts the money of the destitute and hopeless, who hire him to take on the true “super-villains” of the bad side of town: the Mafioso, gangstas, and corrupt cops who pose far more of a threat than super-powered maniacs in outlandish costumes. The urban landscape and its denizens are brought to life admirably in detailed, uncluttered artwork by penciller Richard Corben.
