In "Save the Suicide Squad," Mon-El and Shadow Lass probe a dead planet adrift in a busy interstellar lane, uncovering only silent, deadly automated defenses before departing. But as they leave, something stirs on the far side—unseen, unknown, and very much awake. Written by Paul Levitz and illustrated by Pat Broderick, with inks by Larry Mahlstedt, colors by Gene D'Angelo, and letters by Adam Kubert, this 1982 DC classic features a cover by Keith Giffen and Romeo Tanghal.
