Hardware #42 (Dead Man's Hand)
This is a physical copy of the DC Comics/Milestone Media comic book 'Hardware', specifically issue #42 titled 'Dead Man's Hand'. The cover art features the titular character of Hardware in a dynamic, high-detail action pose against a black background. The artwork displays complex mechanical details and a color palette dominated by white armor plating, red mechanical accents, and gold metallic flourishes. Printed in the mid-1990s (approx. 1996), the comic exhibits standard Modern Age dimensions (approx. 6.625 x 10.25 inches) with a glossy paper cover and staple-bound construction. Visible credits on the cover include creators Rozum, Rollins, and Caesar. Notable markings include the DC and Milestone logos, a Direct Sales barcode in the bottom left corner, and a price point of US $1.95 / CAN $1.50. Condition-wise, the comic appears to be in mid-to-high grade raw condition; there is visible blunting and minor color breaking at the top-left and top-right corners, along with light edge wear along the top of the front cover. The spine shows some minor stress lines. No major creasing, tears, or staining is immediately evident from the front view, though the page quality internally is unknown. The craftsmanship represents the intricate, tech-heavy artistic style prevalent in Milestone Media titles during this era.
