The New Gods #16

The cover of this February 1978 DC issue pulls no punches: a massive green-skinned titan dominates the foreground, clashing violently with a red-suited hero while flames erupt behind them, soldiers look on, and an ominous golden sphere looms overhead. The cover tagline — "The Titan and the Hunter — will they destroy a world battling for the life of a human?" — sets up a genuinely compelling stakes-driven conflict between two powerhouses. Cover art by Al Milgrom and Joe Rubinstein gives the confrontation real weight and energy, making this an appealing entry in DC's late-'70s Return of the New Gods run.
