The Wanderers #13

This April 1989 DC issue closes out The Wanderers with a genuinely arresting cover by Steve Lightle: six team members stand in silhouette against an alien landscape prowled by a roaring dinosaur and circled by pterosaurs, while a glowing, radiantly lit fetus floats above it all in an image that feels equal parts cosmic wonder and quiet unease. The visual contrast between the grounded, darkened heroes and the luminous unborn figure gives the cover a haunting, meditative weight that sets writer Doug Moench's "Nuformities" apart from a straightforward superhero sendoff. It's a thought-provoking final chapter from a creative team — Moench, Dave Hoover, and Robert Campanella — that clearly wasn't afraid to reach for something stranger and more ambitious.
