The Darkstars #20

The Darkstars cross paths with the Flash in this 1994 DC team-up issue, and Randy DuBurke's cover captures the collision vividly — the Scarlet Speedster lunges dramatically across a fragmented, starburst-paneled composition while a Darkstar combatant clashes with him amid a swirling purple energy field. Michael Jan Friedman's story, illustrated inside by Michael Collins and Ken Branch, promises cosmic-scale conflict right there in the title: "Eve of Destruction, Part Three: Challenge of the Expanding Universe!" At $1.75, this is mid-run Darkstars at its most visually dynamic.
