The Outsiders Special #1

A menacing figure in red military regalia dominates the cover by Eduardo Barreto, looming large over a sprawling clash of heroes as the Outsiders and Infinity, Inc. are swept up in the chaos beneath him. The sheer scale of the battle — colorful combatants tumbling across every inch of the image — makes this 1987 special feel genuinely ambitious, and the "Part One of Two" banner promises there's even more to come. Written by Mike W. Barr with art by Chuck Patton and inks by Bob Smith, this crossover is a fine showcase of late-'80s DC team-book storytelling at its most energetic.
