Captain Confederacy #1

Published under Marvel's Epic Comics imprint in November 1991, this alternate-history series from writer Will Shetterly and artist Vince Stone imagines a world where the Confederacy survived — and has its own costumed champions. The cover lays out that premise with wit and confidence: a man and woman in Confederate-themed superhero costumes leap into action against a collage backdrop of newspapers, a handgun, a steaming coffee cup, and smaller panels teasing additional heroes including a cowboy-styled figure and a green-skinned character. It's a smart, visually busy design that signals a series with something genuinely different on its mind.
