About the series
A four-issue miniseries from MU Press, Balance of Power (1990–1991) is a political thriller that explores the fragile tensions of the Cold War's final years. Writer and artist Mike Raabe crafted a tense, grounded story about a rogue nuclear submarine threatening global stability, forcing a desperate race against time. This series stands out for its sober, realistic approach to superpower conflict, offering a mature, character-driven drama rather than superhero spectacle. It remains a noteworthy example of early-'90s independent comics tackling geopolitical themes with serious intent.
