Blue Devil #3

Blue Devil finds himself flat on the ground and at the mercy of the fearsome Metallo — the man with the Kryptonite heart — who looms menacingly overhead while a group of bystanders looks on in alarm from the background. The cover dialogue makes it clear that Metallo has Superman in his sights and sees Blue Devil as nothing more than an obstacle in the way. Paris Cullins's cover art captures the sheer power imbalance with real energy, making this August 1984 issue a punchy read for anyone who enjoys their heroes in over their heads.
