The Huntress #16

In "Welcome to the Wrecking Ball," the Huntress goes head-to-head with the manipulative developer Brancati, who’s using the corrupt newscaster Mike Cobb to smear the local hero Waterfront Warrior and justify tearing down the dock area—starting with a fire that leaves the homeless without shelter. With sharp instincts and a well-placed trap, she lures Brancati into confessing his crimes on camera, handing the evidence over to Detective O'Shea. Written by Joey Cavalieri and illustrated by Joe Staton, with inks by Bob Smith, colors by Robbie Busch, and letters by Bob Lappan, this 1990 issue delivers a tense, grounded showdown where justice comes not from a punch, but from proof. The cover, by Joe Staton and Bob Smith, captures the moment with a stark, shadowed intensity.
