The Incredible Hercules #132 — Published Cover (Rafael Albuquerque)

This cover depicts Hercules in his temporary role as the replacement Thor, wielding his mace in a powerful, forward-driving composition that emphasizes raw strength, motion, and divine authority. Albuquerque’s confident linework and bold use of blacks give the piece a sculptural weight that translates exceptionally well from original art to print.

Created entirely by Albuquerque in both pencils and inks, this piece represents one of the most striking modern portrayals of Hercules during the acclaimed Incredible Hercules run by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente. The cover’s clarity, impact, and unmistakable silhouette make it an instantly recognizable image from the series.
