Black Lightning #1

Black Lightning crackles back into DC's spotlight in this 1995 series opener, with cover artist Eddy Newell depicting the electrifying hero wreathed in a storm of yellow lightning, fists charged and ready against a brick-wall backdrop. The bold new costume — deep blue with that signature gold lightning bolt across the chest — signals a fresh chapter for Jefferson Pierce, and the raw energy practically leaps off the page. Writer Tony Isabella's return to the character he helped shape makes this first issue of the relaunched series a natural starting point for fans old and new.
