The Legend of the Shield #6

The cover of this December 1991 Impact Comics release thrusts readers right into the tension, with a menacing lion-maned figure looming large in the foreground while a gunman squares off nearby and a crowd of alarmed bystanders reacts in the background — all framed by the bold tagline "Confrontation!" A small inset in the upper corner teases the Shield in action, and the guest-star banner promises an appearance by the Fly, making this issue of Legend of the Shield feel like a genuine event. Grant Miehm's cover art — both pencils and inks — keeps the energy tightly wound, setting up Mark Waid and Miehm's "Tribes" story with real dramatic promise.
