Jemm, Son of Saturn #5

Part five of DC's 12-part maxi-series finds Jemm — the red-skinned, muscular Son of Saturn — caught in a tense standoff on this Gene Colan and Klaus Janson cover, as a purple-caped woman wields a whip against him while demanding his submission with the chilling words, "Now, my prince, you will do as I command — or you will die!" The dynamic composition crackles with menace, Colan's fluid figures locked in a struggle that suggests Jemm's journey through 1985 Earth is anything but peaceful. With Greg Potter's story "Kin!" waiting inside, this issue promises the kind of dramatic conflict the cover so vividly sets up.
