Hawk and Dove #12

The cover by Greg Guler and Karl Kesel wastes no time setting the stakes: Cyborg squares off against Hawk in an explosive foreground clash, while Starfire streaks through the sky above and what appears to be Robin scrambles at the lower left — all amid a chaotic tropical battlefield strewn with debris and smoke. The bold cover copy promises that Hawk & Dove and the New Titans are going head-to-head with "Mean Machines," and the sheer kinetic energy on display makes it easy to see why this 1990 team-up/throwdown earned its spot on spinner racks. Written by Barbara and Karl Kesel with art from Greg Guler and Scott Hanna, this is the kind of super-team collision that reminds you why DC crossovers of this era were so much fun.
