Suicide Squad #6

Deadshot dominates this October 1987 cover, filling the frame as he levels a high-powered rifle directly at the reader — and in the weapon's scope, a sharply dressed figure stares back with unmistakable alarm. McDonnell and Lewis deliver a perspective that puts you squarely in the crosshairs, making the threat feel immediate and personal. With John Ostrander's "Hitting the Fan" as the story inside, this issue of the Squad's early run promises the kind of morally complicated tension the series built its reputation on.
