Showcase '95 #7

Showcase '95 #7 brings the Superman villain Mongul front and center in this August 1995 anthology, with cover art by Christian Alamy placing the massive, purple-skinned tyrant in a dramatic low-angle pose against a star-filled void — a planet glowing orange behind him and rocky debris scattered at his feet as he roars with clenched fists raised. The sheer physical menace radiating from that cover promises the kind of cosmic-scale confrontation that Mongul does best. Rounding out the package are additional stories featuring Arion and the New Gods, making this a satisfying triple-threat installment of DC's mid-'90s showcase series.
