Tales of the Teen Titans #49

Dr. Light dominates this striking December 1984 cover, rendered in sharp black and white against a burst of radioactive yellow — cape billowing dramatically as energy crackles at his chest, with ghostly Titan faces looming in the background shadows. The cover's bold proclamation — "Dr. Light Is Back! …Hoo Boy, Is He Ever!" — sets a wonderfully ominous tone for "The Light That Failed," written by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez. With cover art penciled and inked by Pérez himself, this is a visually arresting chapter in the Titans' ongoing saga.
