Ambush Bug #1

DC's irreverent four-part mini-series kicks off in fine form with this bright yellow cover by Keith Giffen and Bob Oksner, showing Ambush Bug mid-leap through a mirror-like oval frame, grinning wide in his blue-and-red costume and insect-antennae mask. His speech bubbles cheerfully riff on Superman's famous description — bragging about leaping tall buildings and locating speeding bullets — while the cover copy reminds us that his secret identity is one Irwin Schwab, "ill-mannered reader of the Daily Planet," fighting for "Truth, Justice, and the Almighty Buck." If you're in the mood for a superhero comic that delights in poking fun at the genre, this 1985 opener sets the tone perfectly.
