Power Pack #49

Power Pack takes on industrial polluters in this 1989 Marvel adventure, with the cover by Jon Bogdanove and Hilary Barta throwing readers right into the chaos — the four Pack kids are in full battle mode amid a maze of chemical drums and hazardous waste barrels, energy blasts lighting up the scene as workers and bystanders scatter in every direction. The tagline "Waste Not, Want Not!" perfectly sets the environmental stakes, and the swirling rainbow energy trail arcing across the cover gives the whole confrontation a vivid, kinetic energy. It's a socially conscious chapter for this young superhero team that keeps the action and the message working hand in hand.
