The Vigilante #38

The masked, black-suited Vigilante dominates this February 1987 DC cover, caught mid-brawl aboard what appears to be a large vehicle — surrounded on all sides by armed soldiers in military fatigues brandishing pistols, rifles, and even a flaming torch. Mike Grell's cover artwork gives the scene a tight, claustrophobic energy, with bodies tumbling and weapons flying in every direction around the cool, silhouetted figure holding his ground. "The Face of Vengeance!" promises exactly the kind of gritty, street-level action that made this series a standout in DC's 1987 lineup.
