This is from the America's Best Comics Top 10 prequel, The Forty-Niners by Alan Moore and Gene Ha. The story concerns the early days of Neopolis, the superhero-only city that was founded after World War II. One of the major subplots involves Steve Trainor, the young aviation hero known as Jetlad (think Airboy) and his growing awareness that he's attracted to Wulf of the Skysharks (think Hendrickson of the Blackhawks). This scene takes place at the end of the story, after Steve has helped save the city from Sharkey, the PTSD-afflicted former head of the Skysharks who had attempted a military takeover of the city.
