In "Pyre," the Justice League faces off against the alien menace Despero in Gotham City, where the villain reveals the tragic history of his homeworld, Kalanor, and the origins that forged him. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by Luke McDonnell’s dynamic art, with inks by Bill Wray and colors by Gene D'Angelo, this 1986 issue offers a rare, character-driven moment amid the action. The cover, by Luke McDonnell and Kyle Baker, captures the intensity of the confrontation.
