Arak / Son of Thunder #4
In "A Tree from Some Dark Hell," Curt Swan’s expressive art brings to life a delightfully absurd caper where the Penguin orchestrates a chaotic distraction with marching penguin puppets, only to be outmaneuvered by a clever trap set by the police—Hostess Fruit Pies left in plain sight. Ernie Colón’s dynamic cover, inked by Dick Giordano, captures the zany spectacle perfectly, while Swan’s interior work, refined by Vince Colletta’s inks and Ben Oda’s crisp lettering, delivers a 1981 DC adventure that’s equal parts mischief and mystery.
