The Atom & Hawkman #44

The cover of this September 1969 DC issue sets up a genuinely unsettling scenario: a towering, bare-chested villain smugly crosses his arms while a white-suited figure cackles the threat "This tomb will be your home for the next thousand years!" — and a desperate Hawkman, pinned inside what appears to be an ancient sarcophagus, strains against its closing walls. Joe Kubert's cover art delivers real menace, with Hawkman's winged helmet and clawing hands conveying the claustrophobic stakes perfectly. Titled "The Ghost Laughs Last!", this late-Silver Age team-up book pairs the Atom and Hawkman against what looks to be a very confident pair of villains — and the duo have their work cut out for them.
