Masque

An unusual story from Dark Horse Comics in the late 1980s under the cover of Dark Horse Presents.  The style is unusual and in black and white.  Unfortunately for us disguise fans, the series ended very abruptly in 1988.

The Masque is a hitman who uses masks as a disguise.  He impersonates at least two woman during the series.  He normally appears with a stylized skull for a head when not in disguise, I don't recall whether this is really a further disguise or his actual normal appearance.

Issue 13 Dec 1987

Here Masque is briefly disguised as a hotel maid.

Issue 18 May 1988

In this issue the Masque picks up his target at a bar.  Sexy and subtle I think.  Makes you think twice about some of those women you've meet?

Journey Into Mystery

Featuring Black Widow

This is a Marvel Comics story from April 1998 #519

The Black Widow impersonates an old dying hospitalized woman who was the head of a Fascist organization.  In addition, we find out she has also been impersonating another woman, who never really existed for the last few issues. 

Confused?  The story is told several different ways, depending on who is being told.

Issue 519 Apr 1998

Here the Black Widow removes her old woman mask.
