Blue Beetle #23

The cover by Garry Leach delivers a striking sense of scale: a massive, grimacing figure dominates the composition, with a tiny Blue Beetle and several colorfully costumed combatants tumbling and clashing across his enormous face and outstretched hand. The bright, kaleidoscopic costumes of the brawling figures pop vividly against that imposing blue-gray giant, making the size contrast feel genuinely unsettling. With Len Wein writing and Don Heck on interior art, this April 1988 issue — "Don't Get Mad, Get Even!" — promises a superhero showdown that's anything but small.
