The Human Fly #4

The Human Fly dives into danger in issue #4 of Marvel's 1977 series, with a cover by Sal Buscema and Terry Austin that crackles with tension — the red-suited Fly lunges through a storm of crossing laser or gunfire beams while reaching out to protect a terrified young woman, all as armed forces converge in the shadowy background below. The cover copy says it all: "Trapped between two forces, the Fly battles to save an innocent hostage!" It's a gripping snapshot of a hero caught squarely in the middle, and with Bill Mantlo scripting and Lee Elias on interior art, there's plenty of reason to crack this one open.
