Freak Force #8

Freak Force #8 (1994) presents a cover that's hard to look away from — a massive robotic or stone arm thrusting upward from the ground, crawling with giant ants and insects, while the team reacts with alarm in the background. The blue-costumed insectoid hero, a white-clad blonde figure, and several teammates stand their ground against whatever enormous threat this limb heralds, all rendered with sharp pencils by Vic Bridges and inked by Karl Kesel. With Erik Larsen and Keith Giffen at the writing helm and a full creative team behind the story, this mid-run issue of Image's action-packed super-team series delivers the kind of wild, anything-goes energy that made early-'90s Image so appealing.
