Featuring the hideously campy Separated Man!
I love the Separated Man.

So naturally, I was giddy when I saw our pal Mike Allred’s variant cover for October’s World’s Finest: Teen Titans #4:

All of these covers look amazing! Sadly, a 1:50 means I won’t be able to own it. Catwoman and Poison Ivy got cover collections. I would love to see a Titans one with the variants across their numerous current series.
