Cloak and Dagger #1

Marvel's dark duo steps into their own ongoing series with this May 1985 launch, and the cover by Rick Leonardi and Terry Austin makes an immediate statement. Cloak's massive, swirling cape dominates the scene as Dagger blazes outward in radiant white, her light-daggers flying in all directions while a crowd of armed and menacing figures closes in around them from every side. It's a dynamic, street-level image that captures exactly what makes this pairing so compelling — shadow and light, darkness and brilliance, working in perfect tension against a world that isn't ready for them.
