Damage Control #1

Marvel's favorite superhero cleanup crew gets their own series with this 1991 series launch, and the cover sets the comedic tone perfectly: Spider-Man leaps through a chaotic swirl of floating heads — including a growling Hulk and a cast of Damage Control's very human staffers — while cheeky caption boxes needle the reader with questions like "What is the Hulk doing here?" and "How many times can we do the same floating heads cover?" Kyle Baker's cover art leans into the absurdity with loose, expressive linework that makes the whole thing feel like a joke the comic is cheerfully in on. With Dwayne McDuffie writing and Baker handling both pencils and inks, "The Sure Thing" promises the kind of sharp, self-aware humor that sets Damage Control apart from your standard superhero fare.
