Psi-Force #5

In "The Touch," Thomas Boyd—now calling himself Stalker—ventures into Sanctuary under false pretenses, posing as a runaway teen. Using his ability to drain others’ energy, he incapacitates four of the group, only to discover that Stasi is immune to his power. Their clash of abilities creates a moment of intense connection, culminating in Stasi overcoming him and healing the others before he vanishes. Written by Danny Fingeroth and illustrated by Mark Texeira, with inks by Brett Breeding, Al Milgrom, and Texeira, and colors by George Roussos, this 1987 issue features a cover by Mark Texeira and Hilary Barta.
