Blue Beetle #13

In "Prometheus Unbound!", Blue Beetle #13 (1987) delivers a high-stakes clash of minds and machines as Prometheus rescues the mysterious Hybrid from the Teen Titans, leading to a tense escape back to Steve Dayton’s headquarters. With the Titans in pursuit and Lt. Max Fisher enlisting Captain Sledge for a dangerous voyage to Pago Island, Conrad’s desperate attempt to control a colossal robot takes a shocking turn—his body destroyed, his consciousness transferred into the machine itself. Written by Len Wein and illustrated by Paris Cullins, with inks by Dell Barras and Pablo Marcos, colors by Gene D'Angelo, and letters by John Costanza, the issue’s cover by Paris Cullins and Bruce Patterson captures the moment’s eerie intensity.
