About the series
A mid-1990s Image Comics spinoff, Youngblood Strikefile (1993–1995) ran for eleven issues, spotlighting a new generation of super-powered operatives. Written primarily by Eric Stephenson, Rob Liefeld, and Tom Bierbaum, with art by Jeff Matsuda, Jae Lee, and Liefeld, the series focused on characters like Shaft, Jeff Terrell, Calvin Raines, Die Hard, Cougar, and Daniel Tsuchida. It expanded the Youngblood universe, offering a grittier, team-focused counterpoint to the main title's bombast, and showcased the distinctive, muscular style that defined early Image comics.
