Arion, Lord of Atlantis #2

DC's mystical Atlantean sorcerer stares down something deeply unsettling in this December 1982 issue — a massive, otherworldly eye suspended above him, its vivid green iris framed by dark, reaching tentacles that claw in from every side. Arion's expression is pure grim defiance, armored and set-jawed against whatever ancient evil looms overhead, making for a cover image with real visual punch. Jan Duursema's pencils and inks deliver a striking sense of cosmic menace that fits perfectly with the series' sword-and-sorcery atmosphere.
