Outcasts #3

The cover of Outcasts #3 tells you everything you need to know about the tone of this 1987 DC series — four misfit characters stand back-to-back, ringed by an intimidating array of weapons pointed directly at them. The group includes a blue-skinned energy-wielder crackling with power, a commanding figure in patriotic colors with fist raised, a purple-costumed woman at the center, and a white-haired gunman in a trench coat, all rendered with gritty confidence by Cam Kennedy. With the story title "Up Against the Wall..." blazoned across the cover, this twelve-issue future shocker from Wagner and Grant promises high-stakes tension and a team of outcasts with nowhere left to run.
