Power Pack #40

Power Pack takes on a Halloween-worthy challenge in this 1988 Marvel issue, where the cover — penciled by Jon Bogdanove and inked by Stan Drake — throws the young Pack into a chaotic graveyard scene alongside a hulking, wide-eyed villain, with tombstones and eerie scarecrow figures looming in the background. The kids are scattered and scrambling amid swirling energy and color-streaked powers, while a ghostly wispy figure drifts nearby and a golden-trailed flyer streaks overhead. As the cover banner promises, the New Mutants guest star this issue, making "Fire with Fire" a crossover treat from writer Louise Simonson and artist Sal Velluto.
