Dartman #1
Dartman #1 (1990) kicks off with a brutal twist: Dan, the original Dartman’s rival, sabotages his mentor’s cycle and kills him, then takes Chang hostage. In response, Alan and Gary rebuild the legendary Dartman suit—modernized and re-armed—ushering in a new era of justice. The issue ends on a tense cliffhanger as Dartman II is shoved into the water, a bomb strapped to his chest. Written by Richard Irving and illustrated by T. W. Montgomery, with inks by Bob Algernon and lettering by Montgomery, the cover by T. W. Montgomery captures the moment’s desperation in bold, dynamic lines.
