U.S.Agent #1

John Walker looms large on this cover — a massive, shadowed silhouette of U.S.Agent in his red-and-white striped costume, shield in hand, standing over a rooftop with unmistakable menace and purpose. The tagline "Death Looms on the Road to Redemption" sets a fittingly grim tone for issue #1 of his first-ever four-part limited series, with cover art by M. C. Wyman that makes the most of dramatic low-angle perspective. Published in 1993 as part of Marvel's Avengers 30th anniversary year, this is a compelling jumping-on point for fans of one of Marvel's most conflicted heroes.
