Squadron Supreme #1

In "The Pre-War Years," J. Michael Straczynski and Gary Frank introduce the formation of the Squadron Supreme, a government-sanctioned team of super-powered agents assembled for public service. With Hyperion, Blur, Doctor Spectrum, Zarda, Amphibian, Tom Thumb, Arcanna, Emil Burbank, Nuke, Shape, and Inertia officially unveiled by the President, the stage is set for a new era of superhero governance—though the true purpose behind the team’s creation remains shrouded in secrecy. The cover by Gary Frank captures the moment with striking precision, setting the tone for a story that balances idealism with the weight of power.
