Kobra #7

The cover by Mike Nasser and Vince Colletta sets a genuinely menacing tone: the massive, snarling visage of Kobra — "The Deadliest Man Alive" and "Lord of Evil" — looms in the foreground while a lone Jason Burr stands defiant in a spotlight, surrounded by Kobra's green-clad henchmen and writhing serpents coiling from a globe-topped pedestal. The tagline "Will He Fall Victim to 'The Lazarus Conspiracy'?" adds a layer of dread that makes this 1977 DC issue hard to put back on the shelf. Martin Pasko's script and Mike Nasser's interior art promise the same dramatic energy telegraphed so vividly on that striking cover.
