Afterburn Press has revealed a preview of Tempered Steele #1, which seems based on these seven preview pages a celebration of eighties comics, with a glam-rock costume and big hair.  No, you can’t really judge a book by its cover, but that is some exceptionally fine Kirbycrackle and a messianic pose reminiscent of Jim Starlin’s work in Dreadstar.
