Steel #48

Steel charges toward the viewer in full armored regalia, red cape billowing and massive hammer raised, while a wave of identical suit-clad figures rocket forward on jets of flame behind him — a striking image that makes "Crash Positions!" feel well-earned as a cover blurb. This March 1998 issue, written by Christopher Priest with cover art by Denys Cowan and Tom Palmer, promises high-stakes tension under the story title "Invasion." It's a confident, kinetic entry in the series that showcases exactly why John Henry Irons remains one of DC's most visually compelling armored heroes.
