Strange Tales #8

This 1987 Marvel anthology brings together Cloak and Dagger alongside Doctor Strange in a title that showcases two very different corners of the Marvel universe. Kevin Nowlan's cover is a striking composition: the luminous, white-clad Dagger recoils in apparent distress, her light daggers trailing from her fingertips, while the enormous dark silhouette of Cloak looms ominously behind her, his billowing cape threatening to swallow everything in shadow. With "The Black Tear Drop" as the featured story and a creative team including writer Terry Austin and artist Bret Blevins, this issue promises an atmospheric blend of street-level mysticism and high sorcery.
