Head and shoulder shot of 1970s era Captain Marvel from Marvel comics. His eyes are angry and red and his face has otherwise been completely replaced by stars planets. What look like a couple of exploding stars. Narration: “… And THIS man can protect it. For he is now COSMICALLY AWARE!“

Ryan North? But - he died... 30 years ago this very night!! @ryannorth.ca · 2d

Every comic cover since has been trying and failing to reach the heights glimpsed by this Carmine Infantino cover for Flash #133 in 1962. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

Flash being turned into a puppet while thinking "I've got the strangest feeling I'm being turned into a PUPPET!". FUN FACT: it is impossible to see this cover and not want to see more
