Mister Miracle #6

Mister Miracle #6 (February 1972) puts DC's "Super Escape Artist" through his paces in spectacular fashion — the cover by Jack Kirby and Mike Royer shows Scott Free bound and buckled into a massive mechanical restraint device, wrapped in heavy chains and rocketing through an explosion, his determined yellow-masked face front and center. The cover also teases the introduction of Funky Flashman, a purple-suited figure glimpsed in the corner, with the playful challenge "Villain or Hero — You Decide!" rounding out the excitement. With Jack Kirby writing and penciling alongside Mark Evanier and Royer's inks, this 48-page issue also promises a Boy Commandos backup feature, making it a genuinely packed read from DC's early '70s New Gods era.
