“In the Shadow of the Ox”

In "In the Shadow of the Ox," the Justice League faces a crisis when General Maksai abducts Mother Windom, using her as leverage to force Vixen to surrender the Tantu Totem. With Aquaman’s leadership now solidified and the team united, they race to stop Maksai’s escalating rampage—only to discover the totem’s power twists its wielder into something far beyond human. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by Chuck Patton and Rick Hoberg, with dynamic inks by Mike Machlan and vivid colors by Gene D'Angelo, this 1985 issue delivers a tense, character-driven showdown. The cover by Patton and Machlan captures the moment of transformation with haunting intensity.
