Justice League Europe #21

This December 1990 issue of Justice League Europe greets readers with one of the more charmingly chaotic covers of the era — the team (including a grinning Flash and a laughing blonde teammate) buried under an avalanche of wrapped packages and shipping crates, while grimmer faces like a pale, yellow-eyed figure and a stubbly older man peek out from the pile with considerably less enthusiasm. Cover art by Marshall Rogers and Bruce Patterson captures the book's signature blend of superhero spectacle and deadpan comedy perfectly. With writing by Keith Giffen and Gerard Jones and interior art by Rogers and Joe Rubinstein, "Blood, Sweat and Tabloids" promises the kind of JLE adventure where dignity is always the first casualty.
