Red Menace #1

WildStorm's six-issue series kicks off with a cover that immediately plants you in the Red Scare era: a broad-shouldered, stars-and-stripes-clad superhero called Eagle stands stoic on the left while a stern, microphone-wielding figure labeled "McCarthy" looms on the right, with the stark red-and-black design framing the headline "Eagle Testifies Before HUAC." Jerry Ordway's pencils and inks deliver a strikingly photorealistic, newsprint-style portrait of Cold War paranoia, capturing the uneasy collision between patriotic heroism and political suspicion. With Bilson, DeMeo, and Brody scripting and "Commie Sympathizer?" plastered across the bottom, this opening chapter of "Unmasked" looks set to dig into one of history's most charged periods through a superhero lens.
