The Fury of Firestorm #41

This November 1985 issue pulls Firestorm, the Nuclear Man directly into the sweeping Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event, and the cover — penciled by Rafael Kayanan and inked by Dick Giordano and Kayanan — captures the tension beautifully. Firestorm surges forward with his signature flaming head and yellow-and-red costume, while the blue-clad, golden-haired Harbinger dominates the foreground, her arrival heralded by a bold "Enter: Harbinger!" caption; a caped red figure streaks through the wooded background completing the sense of an all-out cosmic collision. Gerry Conway's "Storm Warning" promises the kind of superhero storytelling that made 1985 one of DC's most ambitious years.
