Azrael #33

With massive feathered wings spread wide against a deep blue sky scattered with stars, Azrael dominates this September 1997 issue in his striking red-and-gold armor, backdropped by a stained-glass cathedral rose window that frames him like a divine apparition. The cover by Roger Robinson and James Pascoe perfectly captures the subtitle "Angel Unleashed" — there's something simultaneously sacred and formidable about the figure hovering here. Writer Dennis O'Neil continues "Angel and the Monster Maker" with part three, subtitled "Epiphany," promising a story as weighty as the imagery suggests.
