The New Titans #59

The big question — "Wildebeest: Friend or Foe?" — is posed right on the cover of this October 1989 DC entry, as a bank of surveillance monitors looms over a gathered group of Titans, including Starfire, Nightwing, and their teammates, all studying the mystery together in what feels like a genuine team moment. Tom Grummett's pencils, finished by George Pérez, give the scene a grounded, almost procedural energy that suits the intrigue perfectly. With Marv Wolfman and Pérez steering the story under the title "Beest of Burden," this issue promises the kind of character-driven tension that made The New Titans such a compelling read in the late '80s.
