Captain Confederacy #2

From Epic Comics' alternate-history superhero series, Captain Confederacy #2 (December 1991) brings the action right to the street in a cover by Vince Stone that crackles with kinetic energy. Front and center, a Black woman in the Confederate-flag–inspired Captain Confederacy costume throws a fierce punch while a blond male counterpart braces beside her, and a young woman wielding a staff holds her ground in the background — all while a gun-toting attacker lunges in from the left against an ornate Southern-architecture backdrop. Written by Will Shetterly with art and lettering by Vince Stone, this "Hero Worship" chapter promises the kind of thoughtful, tension-filled superhero storytelling that made this series stand out from the crowd.
