Firestorm the Nuclear Man #85

Firestorm strides forward with raw, elemental purpose on this May 1989 cover, his flaming hair blazing upward and a brilliant nuclear light glowing at his core, with fire licking at his feet as radiating lines behind him amplify the sense of barely contained power. Tom Grindberg's cover work captures the Nuclear Man at his most primal, and paired with a story titled "Soul of Fire," the issue promises something that cuts right to the heart of what makes this hero extraordinary. John Ostrander, Grindberg, and Sam de la Rosa bring their collaborative energy to issue #85 of this DC series — a fine moment for fans of one of comics' most visually dynamic characters.
