The Legend of the Shield #7

From DC's Impact Comics imprint comes this January 1992 installment of Legend of the Shield, featuring a kinetic cover by Grant Miehm that throws the patriotically costumed Shield into a fierce mid-air clash while armed soldiers close in from all sides. Joining the fray is the winged hero the Fly, announced with his own bold cover callout, and a second costumed figure looms in the upper corner adding to the sense of an escalating battle. With Mark Waid and Miehm teaming up on "The Stone Gauntlet," this issue promises the kind of action-packed superhero storytelling that made the Impact line a distinctive corner of early-'90s comics.
