Mar 1997 · Acclaim / Valiant · 2.50 USD; 3.50 CAD
“Sharp-Dressed Man”

In "Sharp-Dressed Man," a brutal attack by R.A.G.E. leaves Banion dead, forcing Wylie to don the X-O Manowar armor for the first time. With the weight of the suit and the chaos of a crashing spacecraft looming, Wylie must fight to protect Washington, D.C.—and the monument that stands at its heart. Written by Mark Waid and Brian Augustyn, with dynamic art by Sean Chen and Tom Ryder, this pivotal issue marks a defining moment in the series' early arc. The cover, by Sean Chen and Tom Ryder, captures the intensity of the transformation.
