Cloak en Dagger

Published by Juniorpress from 1987 to 1988, this 12-issue series stars the light-and-dark duo of Cloak and Dagger, runaway teens transformed by synthetic heroin into vigilantes with the power to absorb and project light and darkness. Writer Bill Mantlo, alongside artists Rick Leonardi, Kevin Nowlan, and Carl Potts, guided the pair through morally complex street-level adventures that explored addiction, corruption, and social justice in a gritty urban setting. A key run for the characters, it deepened their tragic origins and cemented their role as protectors of the innocent in the Marvel universe.
