Darkhawk #46

Darkhawk looms large on this December 1994 Marvel cover, his sleek armored form battered and dripping — wings spread, fists clenched — against a fiery alien landscape that gives the story title "To Die Among the Stars" an ominous weight. Tod Smith and Ian Akin render the suit in striking blue and purple detail, with damage and energy effects that suggest our hero has been through something punishing out in the cosmos. It's a visually arresting issue for fans of Marvel's armored street-hero-turned-space-warrior.
