Captain Atom #37

Pat Broderick's cover for issue #37 delivers a striking image of Captain Atom suspended mid-air, arms outstretched, as waves of nuclear energy erupt outward from his silver-and-red suited form against a fiery red sky — with the bold tagline "OVERLOAD!" leaving little doubt about the tone inside. The looming dome of what appears to be a power facility sits below him, framed by churning smoke and crackling energy tendrils that make the whole scene feel genuinely volatile. Writers Cary Bates and Greg Weisman, with interior art by Rafael Kayanan and Romeo Tanghal, bring "Lost Time" to DC readers in January 1990.
