Ravage 2099 #16

Marvel's futuristic antihero series reaches a tense turning point with this 1994 installment, its cover by Grant Miehm posing two urgent questions — "Who is he?" and "What is he?" — as a massive, dark, long-haired creature looms over a pinned-down Ravage, claws poised and eyes gleaming with menace. The moon-lit rooftop setting and Ravage's gold-banded arms straining against his attacker make it clear this new adversary is every bit as feral and powerful as our battered hero. "Throwback Part 1: Mark of the Beast" promises a clash between two forces of raw, unleashed fury that writers Pat Mills and Tony Skinner and artist Grant Miehm clearly relish setting in motion.
