“Blood and Betrayal”

This November 1987 issue of DC's Captain Atom series presents a densely layered cover by Pat Broderick that sets a tense, conflict-driven tone — a chained prisoner is escorted by Military Police in the foreground, while the background erupts with jungle combat imagery, a skull-masked figure, a yellow-suited hero, and swirling flames. The title "Blood and Betrayal" promises exactly the kind of high-stakes intrigue the cover telegraphs, with military authority clashing against something far more volatile. Bates, Broderick, and Smith were delivering compelling superhero drama in 1987, and this issue looks like a strong chapter in that run.
