Fantastic Four #3

Against a backdrop of fire and crumbling ruins, this January 1997 issue of Fantastic Four delivers a cover packed with Marvel heavyweights — Captain America, shield in hand, stands tall at center while Thor looms behind him, hammer at the ready; in the foreground, a snarling Namor squares off against Sue Storm as the Thing rages nearby. With pencils by Jim Lee and inks by Scott Williams, the tension practically leaps off the page, setting a dramatic stage for "Revelations" — a story that clearly has Earth's heroes at one another's throats amid widespread devastation.
