A striking 1988 cover by Pat Broderick and Bob Smith captures Captain Atom's dual identity in tension — his silver-skinned, glowing-eyed face looms large above a torn "Have You Seen This Man?" flyer bearing the image of his human self, while flames and scattered missing-person notices swirl all around. The visual pulls off something genuinely unsettling: the idea that a superpowered being might be publicly hunted, his two faces literally ripped apart on a bulletin-board poster. Cary Bates, Greg Weisman, Broderick, and Smith were clearly firing on all cylinders with this one.
