The Fury of Firestorm #42

Part of DC's sprawling 1985 Crisis crossover event, this issue of The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Man promises an unusually packed lineup right on the cover. The all-new Firehawk — wings blazing with fiery red plumage — soars dramatically above a crumbling cityscape while Wonder Girl stands ready with her golden lasso, and inset portraits of Tomahawk and Dan Hunter round out the ensemble. Cover art by Rafael Kayanan and Dick Giordano gives the whole scene a kinetic, energetic charge that makes it easy to see why Firestorm was one of DC's most ambitious titles of the mid-'80s.
