The Creeper faces a chilling ultimatum on Steve Ditko's cover for this 1969 DC issue — a grotesque, shape-shifting figure identified as Proteus looms close, daring our yellow-and-red hero to behold his "true face" before meeting his end. Ditko's jagged, kinetic linework crackles with menace as the two figures clash against a shadowy, fractured background that feels genuinely unsettling. With Denny O'Neil scripting "The Color of Rain Is Death!" behind that striking cover, issue #5 of Beware the Creeper is a fine example of late-'60s DC at its most imaginatively offbeat.
