Squadron Supreme #4

The fourth chapter of Marvel's ambitious twelve-issue limited series centers on a deeply unsettling moment: Lady Lark is shown restrained in a chair, an imposing device fitted over her head, clearly in distress — and the cover copy drives the tension home with a pointed "WHY?" Several Squadron members crowd the scene around her, their expressions ranging from concern to suspicion. Bob Hall's pencils and Bob Layton's inks give the ensemble a charged, dramatic energy that makes this 1985 series feel genuinely willing to put its own heroes under the microscope.
