Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by John Rosenberger, with inks by Vince Colletta and Murphy Anderson, this 1972 DC classic blends social commentary with the era’s pop culture flair. The cover by Bob Oksner, with additional inks by Murphy Anderson, captures the unsettling charm of a city under unseen influence.
