“Battle Beyond the Green”

A massive, red-eyed swamp creature looms menacingly over a fallen Captain Atom amid cattails and murky wetlands on Pat Broderick's striking cover for this July 1988 issue. The title "Battle Beyond the Green" promises a confrontation between DC's silver-suited nuclear hero and something ancient and elemental, and Broderick's cover delivers that tension with raw physicality. With Cary Bates and Greg Weisman at the helm, this mid-series chapter looks like a genuinely compelling detour into darker, wilder corners of the DC Universe.
