'Mazing Man #12

This charming DC series wraps up its run in style with a cover that juxtaposes two very different superhero fantasies: at the bottom, a figure in a yellow costume relaxes on a floral couch reading a comic book, while above, that same imagination seemingly leaps to life — 'Mazing Man soars dramatically in full Batman-inspired regalia alongside an orange-haired companion, with a yellow-and-black armored figure swooping in from behind. The collaborative cover work from pencillers Stephen DeStefano and Frank Miller, inked by Karl Kesel and Frank Miller, gives the image a wonderfully playful tension between cozy domesticity and superhero grandeur. If you've been following 'Mazing Man's delightfully offbeat adventures, issue #12 is a fitting send-off to one of 1986's most warmhearted titles.
