Quasar #21

In "Arms and the Man," Quasar—still reeling from the loss of his father and believing the cosmic threat of Maelstrom to be over—walks blindly into a deadly trap. With Makkari dead and his friends in peril, Maelstrom strikes with brutal precision, severing Quasar’s arms and seizing the Quantum-Bands. Written by Mark Gruenwald and illustrated with intense precision by Greg Capullo, with inks by Keith Williams and colors by Renee Witterstaetter, this pivotal 1991 issue sees Quasar’s power and resolve tested like never before. The cover, penciled by Capullo and inked by Williams, captures the moment of devastating loss in stark, haunting detail.
