That grinning, red-eyed Joker face — peeling open from the shadows like a split mask — makes for one of the most unsettling annual covers of 1992, rendered with visceral intensity by Sam Kieth. Part of DC's line-wide "Eclipso: The Darkness Within" crossover event, this oversized issue pairs writers Alan Grant and John Wagner with artist Vince Giarrano for a story titled "By Darkness Possessed" — a title that fits the cover's mood perfectly. If the Joker under ordinary circumstances is already terrifying, the suggestion of something darker possessing him promises a genuinely wild read.
