Power Man and Iron Fist #105

Power Man and Iron Fist #105 hits a fun, competitive note right on its cover, where a confident, sunglasses-wearing stranger barges through a doorway with the taunt "One side, has-beens — let a real hero handle this!" while Luke Cage and Iron Fist are literally pushed aside, TNT crates stacked ominously in the background. It's a genuinely clever visual setup — two of Marvel's most capable street-level heroes upstaged in their own title — cover pencils by Ed Hannigan and inks by Bob Wiacek giving the scene a punchy, kinetic energy. Writer Kurt Busiek and artist Richard Howell bring that same spirit inside with a story aptly titled "Competition," making this 1984 issue a spirited showcase for the Heroes for Hire dynamic.
