The Atlantis Chronicles #1

DC's 1990 seven-part series opens with a cover that commands attention: a tall, bearded figure in ornate golden and red robes stands confidently at center, hands on hips, as a dark celestial body blots out the sun above a doomed sky. Surrounding him are warriors, a dark-haired woman in armor, a golden-haired youth, and the gleaming green spires of a magnificent ancient city — all hinting at a civilization on the brink. Esteban Maroto's cover art sets a sweeping, mythic tone perfectly suited to Peter David's chronicle of Atlantis before the deluge.
