Secret Origins #17

This 1987 Secret Origins double-feature spotlights Adam Strange and Dr. Occult, with Kevin Nowlan's cover depicting both heroes in dynamic action — Adam Strange in his red-and-white costume leaping forward with ray gun drawn, while the trench-coated Dr. Occult stands firm beside him, both surrounded by a writhing mass of monstrous yellow claws and fanged jaws. Inside, Roy Thomas joins the creative team to delve into the origins of these two distinctly different DC heroes — one a science-fiction adventurer, the other a supernatural investigator. It's a satisfying pairing that showcases the breadth of the DC universe in a single, well-priced package.
