LOVE Pat Broderick's Captain Atom covers. Just love him in general. My personal favorite is Captain Atom 52.

How exactly did the 80's DC become the 90's DC?

I never got why Broderick didn't become a superstar. His influence is all over Todd McFarlane, but only one got million dollar balls.

I'm being obtuse, so I don't follow you 100%, probably because I liked '90s DC. I guess if anything went wrong, it was the pursuit of speculator dollars and the struggle retaining talent that derailed the higher creative aspirations of the '80s. Still, there was so much trash published in the '80s. I think the batting average remained pretty consistent. It's just the body and specialty cover counts went up.
