Big Bang Comics #5

This 32-page giant from Image's Big Bang Comics line promises a packed 1996 treat with its "Top Secret Origins!" theme, spotlighting four of the universe's heroes across a bright, Silver Age-styled cover layout. Center stage belongs to Silver-Age Blitz, rendered mid-stride in his yellow-and-red costume with a starburst chest emblem, flanked by panels featuring the caped Mighty Man, the dark-costumed Knight Watchman prowling a cityscape, the powerfully built Ultiman in his "U"-emblazoned suit, and a glimpse of Ultiman's Secret Citadel. The cover, brought to life by a collaborative team including Bill Fugate, Chris Ecker, David Zimmerman, Ed Quinby, Jim Brozman, and John Thompson, sets an inviting, colorful tone for a celebration of these homegrown heroes and their untold backstories.
