Fallen Angels #1

"Runaway" kicks off Fallen Angels #1 (1987) with a tense, character-driven story that finds Bobby Drake on the edge—after a painful fight with Sam, haunted by a cryptic file from Professor X, and suddenly gone. Written by Jo Duffy and illustrated by Kerry Gammill with inks by Tom Palmer, the issue captures a raw, emotional moment in the New Mutants’ world, as Warlock sets out to find Bobby while he’s drawn into a dangerous encounter with a streetwise girl named Chance. The cover by Kerry Gammill and Tom Palmer perfectly frames the story’s mood—loneliness, uncertainty, and the first flicker of something new.
