About the series
From 1985 to 1987, Marvel Comics gave the fan-favorite duo of light and darkness their own series, with Bill Mantlo as the primary writer and a rotating stable of top artists including Rick Leonardi, Marc Silvestri, and a young Mike Mignola. This 11-issue run deepens the saga of Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson—better known as Cloak and Dagger—as they struggle with their symbiotic powers and their mission to protect the innocent from crime and corruption. Alongside allies like Father Delgado and the vigilante Mayhem, the series explores themes of addiction, justice, and the fragile balance between hope and despair. It remains a defining, character-driven chapter for these young heroes, showcasing their unique place in the Marvel Universe.
