The Outsiders #23

The Outsiders face a "Centennial of Doom!" on this September 1987 cover by Jim Aparo, which dramatically depicts the team scattered and sent flying by a massive, flaming torch — unmistakably the Statue of Liberty's — clutched in a giant green fist. Multiple Outsiders are hurled across a fiery red sky, their expressions ranging from shock to sheer desperation, while debris explodes around them in every direction. Mike W. Barr and David Ross promise quite a ride with a story teased by this striking image of American landmarks turned against the heroes sworn to protect them.
