Captain Atom #38

The cover of this February 1990 DC issue says it all: a gleaming, silver-skinned Captain Atom — wreathed in crackling flame and energy — faces down the ominous ski-like form of the Black Racer, with the tagline "He must do the impossible… stop the Black Racer!" promising serious stakes. Pat Broderick's cover art delivers a striking contrast between Captain Atom's luminous, atomic glow and the sleek, dark geometry of his cosmic opponent. With Cary Bates and Greg Weisman scripting and Rafael Kayanan and Romeo Tanghal handling interior art, "Haunted" looks to be a compelling chapter in this character's ongoing DC run.
