Power Man #40

Luke Cage fights to his last breath on this February 1977 cover, where Power Man is shown battered and sprawling across a massive green armored vehicle while a menacing opponent looms over him — the cover copy warning that he already battled Big Brother and lost, and now must die. The dynamic cover art by Al Milgrom and John Romita captures Cage's signature yellow shirt and street-tough determination even in a moment of crisis, with machinery and urban chaos surrounding him. Inside, Marv Wolfman pens "Rush Hour to Limbo," promising a story as relentless as the cover suggests.
