Speedball #10

The cover of this final issue of Speedball: The Masked Marvel boldly announces its own send-off, showing the bouncy hero in his blue-and-tan costume tumbling through a swirl of colorful kinetic spheres against a dramatic red-and-black background — pure Steve Ditko energy rendered in ink by Dan Day. The cover teases a wonderfully offbeat farewell, promising "Giant Snakes, Mutated Pigs & Killer Chickens!" as Speedball careens through what looks like an outdoor setting gone gloriously wrong. It's a fittingly lively cap to the series, with Jo Duffy and Steve Ditko delivering a story called "Some Pig" that sounds every bit as charmingly weird as the visual chaos on display.
