DC Comics Presents #45

Superman and Firestorm, the Nuclear Man, find themselves on the wrong end of a threat atop what appears to be an aircraft carrier deck in this 1982 team-up from DC Comics Presents #45. The cover by Ross Andru and Frank Giacoia puts both heroes squarely in the fists of Kriss-Kross — a powerfully built, bare-chested villain who delivers his own menacing introduction via speech balloon: "You heroes are gonna learn something right now — never cross Kriss-Kross!" With jets on the deck below and energy bursting in every direction, the scene crackles with the kind of larger-than-life energy that made this era of DC team-up books genuinely fun.
