The Mutant Misadventures of Cloak and Dagger #1

This 1988 launch of The Mutant Misadventures of Cloak and Dagger arrives in Marvel's prestige "new format" — more pages, fewer ads — and the cover by Bill Reinhold sets an energetic tone immediately. Dagger blazes at center in her white costume, light daggers streaking outward, while Cloak looms behind her in his sweeping dark mantle, and the red-and-yellow costumed members of X-Factor crowd the left side of the composition, powers crackling. It's a confident opening statement for a series that pairs two of Marvel's most visually striking street-level heroes with some heavy-hitting guest stars right out of the gate.
