“A Force of Two!”

Marvel Premiere #55 spotlights Wonder Man in his first solo saga, and the cover by Ron Wilson and Joe Sinnott makes a strong case for why "Wondy" deserves the spotlight — his red jacket already shredded, he strains with every ounce of his ionic strength to hoist a massive armored robot off the ground amid cracked floors and scattered debris. The dynamic composition, all radiating sunbursts and raw power, captures the kind of blue-collar heroism that sets Simon Williams apart from his Avengers teammates. Writers Bob Layton and David Michelinie team with artist Ron Wilson and inker Joe Sinnott inside, making this 1980 issue a satisfying showcase for one of Marvel's most underrated powerhouses.
