Captain Atom #49

Order erupts in the courtroom in this 1991 DC series entry — the cover by Ed Hannigan captures a chaotic scene as a silver-haired figure lunges across the defense table toward a red-haired Plastique, who recoils in alarm while police officers scramble to restore order, a stern judge presiding over the mayhem from the bench. The story title promises something unexpected: "The Trial of Plastique — A Love Story," suggesting the legal proceedings carry genuine emotional weight alongside the courtroom drama. It's a compelling, human-scaled cover that trades superhero spectacle for tension and raw feeling.
