The Fury of Firestorm #30

Issue #30 of The Fury of Firestorm the Nuclear Man arrives in December 1984 with a cover by Gil Kane that puts the Nuclear Man front and center — his flame-crowned head blazing with determination as large atomic-symbol rings encircle his red-and-gold costumed body while streaks of nuclear energy blaze around him. There's a real sense of momentum and barely contained power here, with Firestorm surging forward through a burst of pink and yellow energy, one fist reaching outward. It's a vivid, kinetic image that pairs perfectly with the story's title, "The Depths of Despair," hinting at high emotional stakes inside.
