“All the Elements of Disaster!”

Against a star-filled black cosmos, George Pérez packs this August 1983 cover with an exhilarating roster — Superman surges forward at center, arms wide, with Wonder Woman, Red Tornado, Black Canary, Green Arrow, Aquaman, Hawkman, Firestorm, Zatanna, and a tiny Atom all charging alongside him in a sweeping circular composition ringed with red stars. It's a masterclass in ensemble energy, every hero rendered with Pérez's characteristic dynamism and clarity. With Paul Kupperberg and Chuck Patton handling the interior, "All the Elements of Disaster!" promises the kind of full-throttle team adventure that made Justice League of America essential reading in 1983.
