Despero: The Greatest Stories Ever Told



Tom does these all nice and pretty with the exact right fonts and everything. I pull some crap off the internet and hack something out in an hour or so in MS Paint with default fonts.

Written by GARDNER FOX, GERRY CONWAY, KEITH GIFFEN, and J.M. DEMATTEIS; Art by ADAM HUGHES, LUKE MCDONNELL, MIKE SEKOWSKY, DICK DILLON, and MIKE MCKONE; Cover by ARTHUR SUYDAM
As the Martian Manhunter's archenemy, Despero is the antithesis of the Alien Atlas. Fueled by hate, the Destroyer of Worlds must express his inner darkness, whether through lethal parlor games or grand spectacles of rampant destruction. In THE GREATEST DESPERO STORIES EVER TOLD, the tyrant takes center stage, including his 1960 debut and various stories through the '90s! Collecting tales from the last five decades, this book shows that from his earliest appearances to his most recent exploits, he has been a dynamic and deadly menace. Whether involved in classic campy stories or legendary dark tales, Despero's sadistic drive has been more than a match for even the combined might of the Justice League of America.

  1. Don't apologize. You picked the perfect cover image, and I doubt there's anyone on Earth more qualified than you to select the contents of this book. I'll even forgive you for misspelling "Dillin".
