“Exiles, Part III”

Etrigan the Demon — identified here by his full infernal name, Yarva Daemonicus Etrigan — surges forward on this Jack Kirby–penciled, Terry Austin–inked cover with fists raised and fangs bared, flanked by ghostly demonic figures wreathed in hellfire. It's a fittingly fierce showcase for the "Exiles, Part III" chapter running inside, with Alan Grant writing and Mark Pacella on art. True to Action Comics Weekly's 1989 weekly-anthology format, the issue rounds out its 48 pages with additional strips featuring Speedy, Phantom Lady, Hero Hotline, Wild Dog, and Superman — remarkable value for a single $1.50 purchase.
