Noble Causes #14

Noble Causes has always thrived on the tension between ordinary life and extraordinary power, and this 2005 Image issue captures that perfectly. The cover, penciled and inked by Gabe Bridwell, shows a red-haired woman in glasses and a business suit tearing open her jacket to reveal a costume beneath — white doves scattering dramatically around her as a glowing energy builds behind her. Writer Jay Faerber and artist Fran Bueno continue their blend of superhero drama and soap-opera intrigue, promising exactly the kind of "Sex, Secrets & Super-Powers" the series banner proudly advertises.
