Manhunter #8

Manhunter finds himself surrounded on all sides in this 1988 DC holiday issue, the masked, black-and-red-clad hero gripping a baton as monstrous, swamp-creature-like figures close in from every direction — an urgent image penciled and inked by Doug Rice that crackles with tension. Written by John Ostrander and Kim Yale with art by Frank Springer and Pablo Marcos, this issue also ties into the Invasion! First Strike crossover event, raising the stakes considerably. Topping it off, the Flash guest-stars, making this a genuinely fun chapter for fans of late-'80s DC storytelling.
