Future Quest Presents #5

DC's Future Quest Presents spotlight on the Hanna-Barbera hero Birdman reaches its fifth issue, and Steve Rude's cover makes an immediate impression: the winged, yellow-helmeted Birdman is caught in the crushing grip of a massive, rocky stone giant, his blue wings straining as he fights to break free, while his eagle companion swoops in nearby against a fiery amber sky. The sheer scale of the looming creature — dark, jagged, and glowing with a single red eye — sets up a formidable physical challenge for the solar-powered hero. Phil Hester and Rude bring their talents to "Invisible Sun!", promising a story that lives up to the dramatic tension Rude has so vividly captured on the cover.
