Mister Miracle #12

Mister Miracle #12 puts the Super Escape Artist in one of his most harrowing predicaments yet — chained to a speeding torpedo and hurtling straight toward a massive naval mine, with the cover copy asking whether he can free himself with only seconds to spare. Jack Kirby and Mike Royer deliver a kinetic cover that crackles with urgency, the transparent nose cone of the torpedo framing Scott Free's desperate, straining figure against a churning sea. Rounding out the issue is a complete story, "Mystivac!," making this a thoroughly packed 1973 package for fans of Kirby's Fourth World imagination.
