“Showdown at Stark Aircraft!”

In Iron Lantern #1 (1997), writer Kurt Busiek and artist Paul Smith kick off a bold new chapter as Iron Lantern returns to Earth after returning H.E.C.T.O.R. to Oa the Living Planet. When Pepper Ferris takes to the skies in a new test plane, Iron Lantern is there to save her—only to face a sudden threat at a party, where Great White, freed by Madame Sapphire, makes his move. With Paul Smith handling both the interior pencils and cover art, and a team of inkers including Al Williamson and Tom Palmer, the issue blends high-stakes action with the quiet tension of a world still adjusting to its newest guardian.
