Legacy of Death

Truly I am posting this for it's patriotic symbolism.  I know nothing of the story and I believe this art was used on many titles that appeared on the newsstand at that time.  You can find out more about the novel "Legacy of Death" here, if you are so inclined.  There is a spoiler in the review (clearly marked) so beware.
Happy Independence Day to all of the agents out there.  Celebrate safely and remember those that have given their all and continue to protect the freedoms we all enjoy.
