Manhunter #1

This 1988 series launch from writers John Ostrander and Kim Yale, with art by Doug Rice and Sam Kieth, announces itself with a cover that's all business — Manhunter leaps forward in his striking red-and-blue costume, baton raised against a city skyline, while surrounding panels spotlight a masked figure bearing a fleur-de-lis emblem, a fur-clad armed combatant, and a close-up of Manhunter squaring off with a glowing weapon in hand. The fragmented panel layout gives the whole thing a kinetic, globe-trotting thriller energy that feels right at home in the late '80s DC landscape.
