Nomad #25

The cover of Nomad #25 (May 1994) hits hard with a striking image penciled by Michael Golden — Nomad himself caught mid-scream, his star-spangled costume torn and scorched, hands outstretched against a blazing wall of golden light and a looming ghostly presence behind him. It's a visceral, emotionally raw composition that perfectly suits a series never shy about putting its hero through the wringer. "American Dreamers Part Four: Some Times Cry" promises the kind of gritty, personal storytelling that made this 1994 Marvel run stand out from the superhero crowd.
