The New Titans #72

The cover of The New Titans #72 pulls no punches: Deathstroke looms over two downed heroes in his distinctive blue-and-gold armor, gripping one while another lies limp and waterlogged at the shoreline beneath a blood-red sky. The bold tagline "When Titans Die—!" and the story title "Death of a Hero!" make the stakes unmistakably grim. With Marv Wolfman scripting and Tom Grummett and Al Vey delivering visceral, dramatic cover art, this 1991 issue promises a tense chapter in the Titans Hunt storyline.
