Isis #8

The cover by Rich Buckler and Vince Colletta crackles with tension as Isis recoils amid bursts of flame while a smug villain in purple boasts of his mutant power to turn best friends into bitter enemies — a sinister ability made disturbingly visible in the background, where two young men grapple in glowing, hostile combat. DC's TV tie-in series was clearly swinging for dramatic stakes in January 1977, and the teaser — "Will Isis' final vision be seen darkly through the mutant's eyes?" — promises something genuinely unsettling inside. If you've ever wanted to see the Egyptian goddess-hero pushed to her limits by a psychic schemer, this issue makes a compelling case.
