The New Titans #83

A tense father-versus-son confrontation dominates this 1992 DC issue, with the cover — penciled by Tom Grummett and inked by Al Vey — placing a blond, caped figure squarely against a blue-armored opponent who looks unmistakably like Deathstroke, a looming shadowy bat-winged form filling the explosive golden background behind them. The banner "Father vs. Son in Their Final Battle!" and the story title "Death Be Not Proud!" promise that Marv Wolfman is pushing the drama to its absolute limit in part two of "The Jericho Gambit." If the cover's bold promise of "the most shocking last page in Titans history" has any truth to it, this is one 1992 issue you won't want to set aside halfway through.
