Firestorm the Nuclear Man #78

Part six of the "Eden" arc puts Firestorm in genuine peril, and this cover by Joe Brozowski and Sam de la Rosa makes that tension unmistakable. A massive, leonine creature — wild-maned, snarling, and razor-fanged — looms in close-up, its enormous claws reaching toward the Nuclear Man, who is caught in its grip against a blazing orange sky. It's a striking, visceral image that captures the late-1980s DC universe at its most kinetically charged, with John Ostrander's name on the masthead promising the sharp, character-driven storytelling that defined his run on the title.
