Freak Force #4

Freak Force assembles in force on this March 1994 Image cover, with the team's colorful roster — including a blue powerhouse, a blonde ice-wielding woman, a massive orange bruiser, a star-spangled armored figure, and a purple-costumed woman — facing down a field of shattered rubble and skeletal enemies. A blond figure struggles at the foreground, and the cover proudly announces a feature appearance by Vanguard. Penciled and inked by Vic Bridges, it's a kinetic, crowd-pleasing snapshot of the kind of ensemble superhero energy that made early Image titles so appealing, brought to life by the writing team of Erik Larsen and Keith Giffen.
