There's a tale, indeed, behind this symbolic cover penciled by Steve Leialoha and inked by Hilary Barta!
Superhero Captain Justice traveled from the 2-D world of comics to the 3-D real world and met his creator, Abner Bevis, along with fanboy Woody Greely, whose mother, Emma Greely, is a reporter working on an expose about local criminal "BlackJack" Kybo, whose son Eddie, has been bullying classmate Woody.
Captain Justice attempts to intercede with "BlackJack" to instruct his son to stop picking on Woody.
The meeting turns violent, Cap discovers he doesn't have his super-powers in this dimension, and gets his costumed butt kicked!
Meanwhile (as they used to say in comics), a hard-boiled detective named "Gumshoe", sent by the ruler of the comic dimension to retrieve Captain Justice meets Emma Greely and, because he's attracted to her, agrees to help her get proof on "BlackJack's"criminal activities.

But things take an unexpected turn when...
Inker Tony DeZuniga joins creatives J M DeMattis (writer) and Steve Leialoha (penciler) for this second and final issue adapting the pilot episode.
The TV series filmed seven episodes but only three aired before cancellation.
A pity, because the fourth episode was probably the most meta of all!
The ep, "Things Get Ugly", guest-starred Adam West as an unemployed actor who had been the in-universe TV version of Captain Justice, embittered at being typecast as the stalwart character!
Before we go, meet the cast you've been seeing in comic book form...
