Captain Planet and the Planeteers #11

Dave Cockrum's cover for issue #11 captures the signature moment of the series perfectly — four Planeteer rings blazing with energy as Captain Planet materializes in a burst of golden light, arms outstretched and radiating power against a deep space backdrop. The tagline "By Your Powers Combined, I Am Captain Planet" frames the hero's summoning beautifully, with the Planeteers' fists visible at the edges, each ring glowing a distinct color. With three stories of ecological adventure promised inside — including the opening chapter of "The Cutter" — this September 1992 issue delivers the environmental heroics that made this series a natural fit for Marvel's lineup.
