“Gold! Gold! Who's Got the Gold?”

Luke Cage is literally dangling over a dizzying city skyline, gripped by a massive golden hand — the cover tagline confirms the threat: "When Strikes the Goldbug!" Ed Hannigan and Ernie Chan deliver a wonderfully vertiginous composition, with Cage tumbling helplessly while the city grid stretches out far below him. This April 1977 issue pairs Marv Wolfman's storytelling with interior art by Lee Elias and Alex Niño, making it a solid entry in Marvel's street-level hero lineup.
