Batman / Hellboy / Starman #2

This DC/Dark Horse co-production brings together three of the late 1990s' most compelling heroes for the concluding chapter of their crossover. Tony Harris's cover depicts Batman and Starman in the foreground — Starman gripping his cosmic rod — with a bloodied, imposing Hellboy standing at the center against a burst of hellish yellow light, while a pair of Nazi soldiers lurk to the right and a mass of tentacled, otherworldly horror looms in the purple shadows behind them all. Written by James Robinson with art by Mike Mignola, this is a genuinely atmospheric team-up with a pulpy, occult-tinged menace that feels right at home in 1999.
