Codename: Knockout #4

In "Fleshback '73: St. Grace Under Fire," writer Robert Rodi and artists Yanick Paquette, Louis Small Jr., with inks by Mark Farmer and colors by Moose Baumann, deliver a sharp, character-driven flashback that explores the origins of Celeste and Damon’s uneasy alliance. The story unfolds through Go-Go’s recollection of their first mission in Romania, where a cliffside accident strands them in a hidden grotto under unexpected circumstances. Cover by Joe Chiodo captures the tension and intimacy of the moment with a striking, moody illustration.
