In "Knight Launch," DC's Checkmate takes center stage as a high-stakes space mission unfolds amid rising tensions over an impending alien threat. With the government pushing a rushed shuttle launch to deploy a defense satellite, Connie is sent aboard to investigate hidden agendas among the crew—only to uncover that not everyone on board is who they seem. Written by Paul Kupperberg and illustrated by Steve Erwin, with inks by Al Vey, colors by Julianna Ferriter, and letters by John Costanza, this 1989 issue features a cover by Art Thibert that captures the tension of the moment.
