Backlash #15

Backlash stands front and center on this January 1995 cover, armored and battle-ready in his distinctive blue-and-brown suit as flames flicker around him and defeated enemies lie at his feet. Behind him, a trio of allies — including a white-haired figure and a red-haired woman — stands poised against a moody, rain-soaked backdrop, while a looming red-costumed threat dominates the background. Brett Booth's pencils and Al Vey's inks give the whole scene a dynamic, charged energy that captures this mid-1990s Image series at full throttle.
