If not the year. Planetary #26, art by John Cassaday.
Not only a really cool image, but as emblematic of the mystery of the Fourth Man and all the cool conspiracy stuff that Warren Ellis has been dragging along, just brilliant.
(Larger size rendition here. Man, this is one of the few covers of the last decade I’d love to have a poster of.)

Great cover indeed. 🙂
For the record, the story wasn’t bad either. Not great — Planetary has evolved from an exploration of various pulp/comic genres to a Authority-esque Ellisian conspiracy adventure, and in so doing lost some of its charm — but certainly worth the nickel $2.95 to pick it up.
Or, maybe, better to have waited for the inevitable collection. Except love that cover …
