Black Terror #10

Spinning out of Project Superpowers, this 2010 Dynamite series reaches its tenth issue with a cover by Alex Ross that radiates an eerie, otherworldly menace. Black Terror — costumed in black with his distinctive skull-and-crossbones emblem glowing green — strains dramatically upward, one arm raised and gripping what appears to be a blade, while a massive luminous skull-and-crossbones looms behind him like a haunting specter. With "The Ghosts of the Living Part One" kicking off a new story arc written by Ross and Phil Hester, this is a compelling entry point for anyone drawn to the darker, more complex side of Golden Age hero revivals.
