Arion, Lord of Atlantis #18

DC's sword-and-sorcery saga set in ancient Atlantis delivers a charged April 1984 cover by Jan Duursema, where two red-clad figures — a long-haired warrior and a dark-haired woman — face each other in tense confrontation on a crumbling city street, while an enormous ghostly face looms ominously in the storm clouds above them. The title "Blood Brothers" promises the kind of personal, high-stakes drama that writer Paul Kupperberg handles so well in this series. With Duursema handling both pencils and inks, the composition has a raw, kinetic energy that makes this issue of Arion, Lord of Atlantis a thoroughly satisfying entry in DC's fantasy line.
