Supergirl #17

The cover by Gary Frank and Cam Smith says it all — Supergirl locks into a fierce clash with the massive, crimson-tinged Despero, energy crackling at the point of impact between his outstretched fist and her determined face. It's a visually striking confrontation that earns its bold "A Meeting of Minds!" tagline, promising something more than a straightforward brawl. Peter David, Leonard Kirk, and Cam Smith bring "Teetering on Oblivion" to this January 1998 issue, and the cover alone makes a strong case for picking it up.
