Stormwatch #43

Stormwatch #43 arrives in December 1996 with a cover by Tom Raney and Randy Elliott that puts a suited man at the center of real danger — he's crawling through rubble amid debris and destruction, his formal attire torn and his expression grim with determination. A blonde woman peers out from the corner inset, adding an air of intrigue to the scene. Warren Ellis's run on this Image series was already shaking up superhero storytelling, and this battered-but-defiant image makes a compelling case for picking this one up.
