Camelot 3000 #12

The grand finale of DC's ambitious 1985 maxi-series arrives with a cover by Brian Bolland that speaks volumes without a single word — a golden crown clutched in a grey, gauntleted hand amid a rubble-strewn battlefield, while scattered relics including a medallion, a dagger, a demonic skull, and what appears to be Excalibur lie among the debris, all set against a sky torn apart by a massive, ominous explosion above the towers of Camelot itself. It's a haunting, elegiac image that captures the weight of an ending — triumph and loss intertwined in equal measure. Mike W. Barr's futuristic Arthurian saga closes here, and Bolland's cover makes it feel every bit as momentous as the journey deserved.
