Heroes for Hire #1

"Heroes and Villains" kicks off Heroes for Hire #1 (1997) with a high-stakes rescue at the United Nations, as Iron Fist reunites the team with the help of Jim Hammond and Oracle, Inc. The new lineup—Hercules and a fresh White Tiger—races to defuse a hostage crisis, setting the tone for a series that blends action and uneasy alliances. Penciled by Pascual Ferry and inked by Jaime Mendoza, the cover captures the tension, while Roger Stern and John Ostrander deliver a sharp, character-driven start.
