Suicide Squad #22

Politics and supervillainy collide in this 1988 installment of DC's morally complex espionage series. The cover — penciled by Luke McDonnell and inked by Karl Kesel — places a silver-haired politician at a podium bristling with microphones beneath a "Campaign '88" banner, while a muscular armed figure and the armored Deadshot lurk menacingly in the background. John Ostrander's "Final Round" promises the kind of shadowy intrigue where the worlds of electoral ambition and Task Force X are anything but separate.
