D.P. 7 Annual

In this single 1987 Marvel annual, writer Mark Gruenwald and artist Lee Weeks expanded the world of D.P. 7, the series about a government registration program for super-powered individuals. The annual offers a standalone story that deepens the conspiracy-laden premise of the main series, spotlighting the moral complexities of a world where powers are tracked and controlled. It's a compact but essential piece of Gruenwald's ambitious, character-driven take on the superhero genre.
