Doc Savage #22

Adam Kubert's cover for this 1990 DC issue tells a tense, layered story at a glance — a wide-eyed young woman clutches her hands to her mouth in the foreground, clearly terrified, while through the window behind her a dramatic struggle unfolds: a figure in a fur-trimmed coat reels backward as a bullet from an outstretched revolver streaks through the frame. The dim glow of an oil lamp on the desk beside her only deepens the sense of isolation and dread. With Mike W. Barr writing and Rod Whigham on interior art, "The Asteroid Terror Part 1" promises a gripping start to a new Doc Savage adventure.
