Written by Mike Baron and illustrated with sharp intensity by Whilce Portacio, with inks by Scott Williams and colors by Janet Jackson, this 1989 issue delivers a tense, high-stakes clash of wits and violence. The cover, by Portacio and Williams, captures the moment of escalating danger with chilling precision.
