Firestorm the Nuclear Man #88

Tom Mandrake's cover for issue #88 delivers a visceral image of Firestorm in freefall — his face strained and blazing as streaks of fire and debris tear around him against the curve of the Earth far below. The title "Meltdown" and that harrowing descent together set a tone of real urgency for this 1989 chapter of John Ostrander and Mandrake's run on the series. It's a striking visual that captures the Nuclear Man at what looks like a genuinely desperate moment.
