Defenders of Dynatron City #2

A colorful, action-packed ensemble charges across this Steve Purcell cover as the Defenders of Dynatron City — including a masked woman in red and yellow, a green feline creature, a glowing green figure, a blue muscular hero, and a small blue monkey-like character — scramble against a massive, menacing black mechanical beast with jagged teeth dominating the background. The cover proudly declares this a "Thrilling Origin Issue!", making issue #2 the place where the team's beginnings, told in "Dawn of the DDC," come into focus. With Frank Cirocco on interior art and Purcell handling both pencils and inks on the cover, this 1992 Marvel series brings a wonderfully quirky, animated energy that sets it apart from the superhero pack.
