Steel Annual #2

In "Spilled Blood," John Henry Irons confronts the weight of his past as a brilliant engineer shaped by loss, navigating the personal and professional connections that will define his path as a hero. Written by Louise Simonson and illustrated by Kevin Sharpe, Tim Hamilton, Joe St. Pierre, and Jesse Orozco, with inks by Dave Bednar, Rob Leigh, and Wayne Faucher, and colors by Dave Grafe, this Steel Annual #2 offers a grounded look at the formative moments behind the man who would become a symbol of resilience. Phil Jimenez’s striking cover captures the intensity of Irons’ journey, a 3.95 USD comic from 1995 that remains a pivotal chapter in his story.
