Black Anvil

Black Anvil is a member of Codename: Stryke Force, a hard-edged mercenary team in the Image Comics universe. Debuting in Cyberforce #4, he operates alongside teammates Morgan Stryker, Tempest, and Bloodbow in high-octane paramilitary missions.

Bursting onto the scene in 1993 as part of Image Comics' kinetic early wave, Black Anvil is a Copper/Modern Age creation forged by the visionary Marc Silvestri and Brandon Peterson — two names synonymous with the bold, high-octane aesthetic that defined Image's founding era. Most at home in the pages of Codename: Stryke Force and Cyberforce, this character shares adventures with a hard-edged roster including Morgan Stryker, Tempest, and Bloodbow, placing Black Anvil squarely in one of the most action-charged corners of the Image universe. With appearances stretching from 1993 into the 2000s and a debut in the key early issue Cyberforce #4, Black Anvil is a rewarding discovery for any collector digging into the raw, ambitious energy that made Image Comics a phenomenon.
