Image Comics – Backlash #22 (July 1996)
Written by Sean Ruffner | Art by Brett Booth & Sal Regla
Part of the explosive Wildstorm universe, Backlash #22 continues the adventures of Marc Slayton — a former Team 7 operative turned vigilante hero. Written by Sean Ruffner and illustrated by fan-favorite Brett Booth, this issue captures the high-energy, hyper-stylized action that defined Image Comics in the 1990s.
The bold cover showcases Backlash locked in intense combat with monstrous adversaries, emphasizing the title’s blend of sharp design, sci-fi elements, and kinetic energy. With early Wildstorm art by Booth (who would go on to work on The Flash and Justice League), this issue is a perfect piece of ‘90s comic nostalgia.
