The Jaguar #1

The Impact Era begins here, and The Jaguar #1 announces itself with genuine ferocity — the cover by David Antoine Williams and José Marzán Jr. puts the wild-haired, fanged Jaguar lunging straight at the reader through moonlit jungle trees, her leopard-spotted collar trailing as a smaller inset figure watches from the upper corner. Published in 1991 under DC's Impact Comics imprint, this is a bold, energetic launch for a series written by William Messner-Loebs with interior art from the same cover team. "Savage Birthright" promises exactly the kind of primal, untamed storytelling that cover image so vividly teases.
