Night Thrasher #10

Night Thrasher faces an armored meeting in this May 1994 issue, as the cover brings together the masked, red-and-black-clad hero and a fully suited-up Iron Man looming large in the foreground, while two men in business suits stand watchfully between them. The "Shell Games" story title and the bold "Guest-Starring Iron Man!" banner set up a clash — or perhaps an uneasy alliance — between street-level grit and high-tech Avenger power. Cover pencils by David Boller and inks by Ian Akin give the composition a sharp, confident energy that makes this crossover chapter an appealing pick from Marvel's mid-'90s output.
