“The Bug!”

Jack Kirby and inker Mike Royer deliver a striking cover for this 1972 DC gem, spotlighting the insectoid warrior known as The Bug — armored, intense, and surging forward through a scene of fire and chaos with weapon in hand. The spine panels tease two more of New Genesis's finest, Light-Ray and Orion, while a bonus feature promises a Manhunter story subtitled "The Lady and the Tiger." At 52 big pages for a quarter, this issue packs in plenty of cosmic adventure from one of comics' most ambitious runs.
