“After Midnight!”

In "After Midnight!", U.S. finds himself on the run after a violent clash at Poppa and Annie's Short Stop, only to be pursued by a masked rider known as Midnight on a high-speed motorbike. The mysterious assassin claims she’s been hired by the Highwayman to eliminate him, but U.S. breaks her trance with a simple piece of gum—leaving her and her bike stranded in the dust. Written by Milgrom and brought to life by Trimpe’s dynamic art, with Esposito’s inks, Scheele’s colors, and Morelli’s lettering, this 1983 Marvel thriller delivers a gritty, pulse-pounding chase. The cover, a striking piece by Bill Sienkiewicz, captures the tension in bold, stylized lines.
