Firestorm #95

Firestorm blazes across this 1990 DC issue as the Nuclear Man — his signature flaming hair burning bright — strains against the grip of a massive, menacing stone or mechanical figure looming ominously in the background. Tom Mandrake's cover art captures a striking contrast between Firestorm's fiery energy and the dark, grinning titan threatening to engulf him. Writer John Ostrander and Mandrake were deep into their celebrated run together here, and "Rolling Thunder" promises the kind of high-stakes tension this cover so vividly delivers.
