“Year of the Comet”

Part of DC's sprawling 1985 Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event, this issue of DC Comics Presents teams Superman with his younger self, Superboy, against a cosmos that appears to be tearing apart at the seams. Eduardo Barreto's cover captures the two S-shielded heroes hurtling through a star-field crackling with yellow lightning, with two distinct Earths floating below them — a striking visual shorthand for the multiverse under siege. Elliot S! Maggin, Curt Swan, and Al Williamson bring their considerable talents to "Year of the Comet," making this a compelling chapter in one of DC's most ambitious publishing events.
