DC Comics Presents #55

DC Comics Presents #55 (March 1983) teams Superman with Air Wave for a confrontation against one of the Man of Steel's most draining foes — the Parasite. The cover, penciled by Alex Saviuk and inked by Bob Smith, captures the threat beautifully: a massive, grinning purple Parasite looms over both heroes as Superman recoils from an energy drain and Air Wave in his green-and-yellow costume launches his own counterattack amid swirling pink energy. The cover also promises Superboy and the original Air Wave as special guest-stars, making this team-up installment a particularly full house of DC heroism.
