Cloak and Dagger #3

Dagger blazes at the center of this November 1985 cover, radiating brilliant light as armed gunmen crowd the foreground with rifles raised — while Spider-Man swings in from the right and a caped Cloak looms ominously in the background. Rick Leonardi and Terry Austin deliver a cover that beautifully captures the tension between Dagger's luminous power and the street-level danger surrounding the duo. With Bill Mantlo scripting "Lost and Found," this third issue of the series shows the young Marvel heroes holding their own in a world that hasn't quite decided whether to fear or trust them.
