Cosmic Boy #1

Cosmic Boy #1 (1986) kicks off with a tense rescue: the Legionnaire is ambushed by a mob and pulled from the wreckage by Night Girl, a mysterious ally who may be more than she seems. As they go into hiding and watch the news, the two begin to notice unsettling discrepancies in the timeline—events unfolding in ways that contradict the history they know, hinting at a deeper fracture in time itself. Written by Paul Levitz and illustrated by Keith Giffen and Ernie Colón, with inks by Bob Smith, colors by Carl Gafford, and letters by John Costanza, the issue’s cover by Steve Lightle captures the moment’s urgency.
