Starman #27

Dave Hoover's cover for this October 1990 issue puts Starman front and center, blue-haired and determined in his striking black-and-red costume, straining against a massive object bearing down on him amid a burst of fiery yellow energy and tropical foliage. Looming ominously in the background is the ghostly green visage of a grinning, sinister face — a threat that feels as big as the sky itself. With Roger Stern scripting "Riders on the Storm" and Hoover handling both pencils and inks, this issue promises a collision between cosmic heroics and something deeply unsettling.
