Written by John Byrne. Art and cover by Kieron Dwyer.
The key ingredient to heroism isn't gamma rays or radioactive spiders. It's inspiration. From the pages of Danger Unlimited comes an all-new adventure of The Torch of Liberty. In this self-contained one-shot the Torch finds himself caught up in the furor of the fifties: Commie-hunting! In the decade of hard-hitting paranoid justice, the Torch faces off against Lenin's ghost in four movie serial-style chapters. If there's a Red terror lurking among the white picket fences, the Torch of Liberty is sure to find it!
