All-Star Comics #73

In "Be It Ever So Deadly...", the Justice Society of America faces a dual threat as Huntress and the Flash take on the Sportsmaster and a sinister echo of Helena's past, while Wildcat remains trapped in the Thorn's clutches—until the JSA moves to free him. Paul Levitz crafts a tense, character-driven showdown, with Joe Staton's dynamic art and Joe Giella's sharp inks bringing the action to life, all rendered in Adrienne Roy's vivid colors and Todd Klein's precise lettering. The cover by Staton and Giella captures the moment’s urgency, a 35-cent snapshot of heroism in 1978.
