The New Gods #14

Orion comes out swinging in Return of the New Gods #14 (1977), and Rich Buckler and Al Milgrom's cover captures the chaos perfectly — the warrior god in his red-and-yellow costume delivers a fierce blow to a struggling opponent while the eerie, pink-ray-blasting Dr. Bedlam looms in the background amid a storm of debris and explosions. The cover also teases Darkseid's "most unexpected attack," promising that the lord of Apokolips isn't sitting this one out. With Gerry Conway writing and Don Newton on interior art, this issue looks like a genuinely exciting chapter in the Fourth World saga.
