Alpha Flight #120

In "The Clampdown Part 3," Manikin emerges from his healing cocoon, forever changed by the sacrifice of his past and future selves. As Alpha Flight fights the Hardliners to save Albert Louise, the team faces a turning point—weighing their loyalty against the looming Super-Human Registration Act. Written by Simon Furman and illustrated by Pat Broderick, with inks by Bruce D. Patterson, colors by Bob Sharen, and lettering by Janice Chiang and Rick Parker, this 1993 issue delivers high-stakes tension and moral complexity. The cover by Pat Broderick and Bruce D. Patterson captures the moment’s intensity.
