Lot #313: "Youngblood Strikefile #3" Comic Book -- 1993 Image

"Youngblood Strikefile #3" is a modern-age superhero team comic book published by Image Comics through Extreme Studios in August 1993. Written by Rob Liefeld and Eric Stephenson with interior art and a cover by Rob Liefeld and Danny Miki, this issue titled "Flashback" continues the anthology-style exploration of the secret history of the Youngblood program. The narrative follows Shaft and Diehard as they recount a classified mission from the late 1980s involving a rogue super-soldier unit operating in the Soviet Union. In this installment, the team must infiltrate a high-security research facility in the Siberian wilderness to prevent the activation of a biological weapon, leading to a high-octane battle where Badrock and Cougar face off against a squad of experimental "Red Guard" cyborgs. The story is noted for its high-energy, kinetic artistic style and for providing foundational backstory for the Youngblood universe's Cold War-era origins. This issue remains a staple for collectors of the early Rob Liefeld era and fans of the expanded Youngblood mythos. Dimensions: 26 cm Pickup category timeslot {A}
