“Zatara's Magical Mystery Tour!”

This January 1984 issue of The New Adventures of Superboy delivers one of the more wonderfully strange covers of its era, with Gil Kane's pencils and inks capturing Superboy in a desperate aerial tug-of-war against a chariot-driving villain, the reins connecting them to a team of four snarling, armored white dogs charging through a panicked city street. The chaos, explosions, and scattering crowd below give the scene real kinetic urgency, and the story title — "Zatara's Magical Mystery Tour!" — promises that the interior by E. Nelson Bridwell, Bob Rozakis, and Howard Bender will match the cover's wild energy. As a bonus, the issue also includes a Dial 'H' for Hero backup feature, making it a genuinely packed read for 75 cents.
