Firestar #3

The penultimate chapter of this 1986 four-issue limited series puts Firestar at the center of a frightening scene — her red hair ablaze with energy as a hostile crowd surrounds her, their speech bubbles hurling slurs like "Die, mutant scum!" and "She ain't human!" while her microwave powers radiate visibly around her. It's a striking portrait of mutant prejudice rendered with real tension, courtesy of cover pencils by Arthur Adams and inks by Bill Sienkiewicz. With "This Lady Kills!" as the story's title and the series building toward its finale, this issue promises both action and the kind of emotional weight that made Marvel's 1986 mutant stories resonate.
