Static #9

Static looks like he's in serious trouble on this striking John Paul Leon and Steve Mitchell cover — the young hero in his blue-and-yellow costume is shown overwhelmed, clutching a tattered yellow garment while a crowd of people swarms chaotically around and beneath him. Up in the corner inset, a mysterious figure crackles with lightning energy, hinting that Static's electromagnetic powers may be pushed to their limits in this 1994 Milestone/DC chapter subtitled "Coming Down with a Little Something." With interior art by John Paul Leon and a script by Robert L. Washington III, issue #9 delivers the kind of grounded, street-level superhero storytelling that made the Static series stand out.
