Tales of the Teen Titans #85

The cover of Tales of the Teen Titans #85 plunges readers straight into crisis, with Eduardo Barreto and Mike DeCarlo's eerie green-tinted artwork depicting multiple Titans struggling desperately in a flood of churning water and bubbles, tangled together as an emergency exit door looms above them. The tagline "Watery Grave!" says it all — this team is in serious trouble, and the suffocating, claustrophobic composition makes the danger feel viscerally real. Marv Wolfman's "Hell Is — the Hybrid, Part Two" promises the kind of high-stakes team peril that made this era of DC's young heroes so compelling.
