Animal Man #6

Brian Bolland's cover for this 1988 DC holiday issue is a striking mid-air confrontation: a winged Hawkwoman armed with a spiked flail swoops down aggressively over Animal Man, who reels beneath her grip while a mysterious hooded figure looms in the background. The title "Birds of Prey" and the Invasion! First Strike tie-in banner hint at a story with some serious superhero clash energy. Grant Morrison, Chas Truog, and Doug Hazlewood deliver what promises to be a wild chapter in this already compelling run.
