The New Gods #13

Darkseid's war on Earth kicks off in this 1977 DC entry, and the cover by Al Milgrom wastes no time signaling the stakes — a snarling green creature grips a woman in its claws while Orion, in his red-and-yellow armor, is lashed by a whipping energy coil, the burning cityscape behind them making it clear no corner of Earth is safe. The bold cover banner proclaims Orion as "the first victim," framing this issue as a turning point in the eternal conflict between New Genesis and Apokolips. Gerry Conway and Don Newton bring their talents to the interior, making this a compelling chapter in one of DC's most cosmic sagas.
