The Fury of Firestorm #43

The January 1986 cover by Rafael Kayanan and Mike Machlan sets up a stormy confrontation with real visual punch — a blue-skinned, red-eyed Typhoon looms large atop a crashing wave, wild hair whipping in the gale, while a determined Firestorm flies in from behind amid churning clouds and trails of flame. That "Typhoon Alert! Firestorm Beware!" banner says it all: the Nuclear Man is flying headlong into a fight where the odds look decidedly unfavorable. Gerry Conway's "Night of Tears Sky of Sorrow" promises the kind of elemental clash that made this Kayanan-drawn run genuinely exciting mid-decade DC reading.
