Starman #79

This penultimate chapter of the "1951" arc arrives with a cover by Andrew Robinson that is quietly breathtaking — three figures profiles against a blazing golden sun: a bearded civilian man in the foreground, a costumed hero in red and gold at center, and a masked figure in yellow behind him, with the ghostly suggestion of a fourth figure rendered in cool blue tones below. Written by James Robinson and David Goyer with interior art by Peter Snejbjerg, issue #79 carries a reflective, almost melancholy weight that the title — "Why?" — only deepens. It's the kind of cover that draws you in before you've even opened the book.
