Arion, Lord of Atlantis #29

The cover of this March 1985 DC issue puts Arion front and center, sword drawn and expression fierce, as a crowned elderly figure collapses before him and a snarling black horse-beast looms menacingly overhead. Behind them, a green-clad woman wielding a blade and a firearm delivers the chilling challenge: "Choose, Arion — your king's death or yours!" Jan Duursema's cover art captures the tension of "Siege!" with striking energy, balancing multiple characters in a scene that makes the stakes feel genuinely dire. If you've been following this Atlantean sorcerer's adventures, this is exactly the kind of cover that makes it hard to put the issue back on the shelf.
