Midnight Sons Unlimited #3

The Midnight Sons' quarterly anthology series hits its third issue with a cover by John Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson that crackles with supernatural menace — Ghost Rider's flaming skull blazes above a massive hellfire-scorched vehicle while a snarling, long-haired figure armed with a gun surges toward the reader, chains whipping through the smoky air. Spider-Man swings in from the corner box to remind readers that Marvel's friendly neighborhood wall-crawler is along for the dark ride this issue. With interior work from writer-artist Mort Todd and a story titled "Prologue: Where Pounces The Paralyzer," this October 1993 package promises exactly the gritty, supernatural thrills that made the Midnight Sons line a distinctive corner of the Marvel Universe.
