Steel #9

In "Bad News," Steel finds himself caught in a web of violence when a drug dealer's son becomes a pawn in a turf war between Crime Lords and the E-Street Gang. After learning of a serial killer targeting suspected child molesters, Steel tracks down psychic Rosie Kurtz—only to arrive moments too late, leaving him framed for her murder. Written by Louise Simonson and illustrated by Frank Fosco, with inks by Mark Stegbauer and colors by Robbie Busch, this tense 1994 issue features a chilling twist on justice, all set against a stark urban backdrop. The cover, by Chris Batista and Dennis Janke, captures the moment of dread with stark precision.
