Captain Atom #27

Three disembodied faces drift against a swirling pink-and-red background, each rendered in a distinct style — a flesh-toned human face, a silvery metallic visage, and a pale ghostly countenance — as the cover boldly asks "…But Which Is the Real Captain Atom?" It's a genuinely clever visual puzzle for the second chapter of this "Top Secret" three-part file, suggesting deep questions about identity at the heart of "Truth and Consequences." Pat Broderick's cover artwork handles the concept with striking economy, letting three floating faces do the heavy narrative lifting.
