The Outsiders #8

Three of the Outsiders' women take center stage on Jan Duursema's cover for this June 1986 issue — a black-suited Looker with blazing white eyes and flowing red hair, the boldly costumed Katana poised in a fighting crouch with sword drawn, and a crackling Halo unleashing her energy powers — while a swarm of small, hatchling creatures scrambles chaotically at their feet. The story title "Ladies Day" says it all: this is very much their moment to shine. Mike W. Barr and Duursema deliver a cover full of attitude and kinetic energy that makes it hard to put down without finding out what's inside.
