Ragman #1

Ragman crouches on a rain-slicked Gotham rooftop in this 1991 opening chapter of DC's eight-issue miniseries, his tattered green costume billowing like living shadows against a fiery, smoke-choked skyline. Pat Broderick's cover art pairs that haunting urban atmosphere with the issue's own tagline — "From the ashes of the Warsaw Ghetto to the back alleys of Gotham City… the Tatterdemalion of the Oppressed rises again…" — setting a tone that's equal parts gritty superhero and something far more mythic. Written by Keith Giffen and Robert Loren Fleming, with interior art by the same team, "Bones of the Defenseless" promises a street-level vigilante story with real historical weight behind it.
