The Ray #22

The Ray tears through a city street in a blaze of yellow-and-black energy on this kinetic cover by Jason Armstrong and Ande Parks, mid-collision with what appears to be another similarly costumed figure while explosions erupt nearby and startled Philadelphia police officers look on from below. The tagline "Family Reunion!" sets an intriguing, charged tone for writer Priest's story "Masks." This March 1996 issue delivers exactly the kind of high-velocity urban action that made DC's mid-nineties lineup so energetic and fun.
