C-23 #7

Jim Lee's C-23 reaches its seventh issue with a cover that plunges you straight into an otherworldly menace — a green-skinned alien figure dominates the foreground, flanked by snarling creature silhouettes and a massive purple-armored form looming to the right, all bathed in an eerie, smoke-filled emerald glow. Richard Corben's cover pencils and inks give the composition a visceral, organic intensity, with fiery tendrils curling overhead against a darkened sky that feels genuinely unsettling. With Mariotte, Lozano, and Elliott driving the interior, this 1998 WildStorm/Image title continues to deliver the kind of bold, alien-tinged sci-fi spectacle that made it stand out on the shelf.
