Mister Miracle #25

Issue #25 of this 1991 DC series hands the spotlight firmly to Big Barda, whose cover — penciled by Joe Phillips and inked by Bob Dvorak — fills a wrestling ring with a crowd-stopping ensemble: Barda herself towers at the back while a fully armored figure commands the foreground, flanked by eight other striking women in a vivid mix of costumes and attitudes. The "In This Corner… Big Barda and Friends!" banner sets a playful, theatrical tone that matches the story title "Bad 'n Beautiful: The Babes of Bodyslam!" perfectly. Writer Doug Moench and artist Joe Phillips clearly had a lot of fun leaning into the spectacle here, and the result is one of the more energetic covers in this volume's run.
