“Rub-Out”

In "Rub-Out," Alpha Flight #22 (1985), writer and artist John Byrne crafts a haunting, character-driven mystery as Heather, haunted by grief, believes she spots her late husband Mac in a crowded street. Meanwhile, Jeffries and Bochs push forward on their upgraded Box suit, while Aurora—her Jeanne-Marie persona in full control—turns to her brother Northstar for help, leading them to a circus now ruled by a domineering "fat lady" and her enforcers. The cover by John Byrne captures the tension with stark, expressive detail.
