This Holiday 1988 issue ties into DC's Invasion! First Strike event, and Gil Kane's cover sets a tense, kinetic tone — a yellow-masked, heavily armed Checkmate agent stands amid crumbling rubble, guns blazing in both directions as muzzle flashes erupt around him, while two figures lie battered at his feet. The sheer controlled aggression on display makes it clear the stakes in "God Save the Queen" are anything but routine. With Kupperberg, Erwin, and Vey handling the interior, this is a sharp slice of late-'80s espionage action at its most urgent.
