Impulse #12

Rock and Roll High School!" blazes across this March 1996 issue of Impulse, and Humberto Ramos and Wayne Faucher's cover delivers exactly that energy — Bart Allen in his red-and-yellow costume clutches a glowing green electric guitar while a surging crowd of wide-eyed, screaming teens reaches toward him from every direction. It's a wonderfully chaotic snapshot of teenage superhero life, pairing Mark Waid's "Sonic Youth" story with a visual that's equal parts mosh pit and super-speed spectacle.
