“If, at First, You Don't Succeed...!”

Subtitled "The Final Adventure" right on the cover, this May 1988 DC issue presents Blue Beetle crouched on a city ledge, weapon drawn, with papers scattering around him and a mysterious hovering figure looming overhead — a tense tableau that promises high stakes for Ted Kord. The cover, penciled and inked by Chris Wozniak, delivers a striking urban atmosphere with that bold, ominous subtitle hanging beneath the hero. Inside, writer Len Wein and artist Don Heck bring the story to life, making this a satisfying chapter in Blue Beetle's late-1980s DC run.
