Darkhold: Pages from the Book of Sins #16

Part of Marvel's 1994 "Siege of Darkness" crossover event, this issue of Darkhold: Pages from the Book of Sins promises that "Vicki's Horrible Legacy [is] Revealed!" — a tantalizing hook for anyone following the Midnight Sons line. The cover by Rurik Tyler and Malcolm Jones III is a genuinely unsettling piece: a grotesque, leering figure in a suit bursts through a crumbling gravestone reading "Here Lies," surrounded by skeletal hands and dripping blood against a vivid red background, with puppet strings suggesting something sinister pulling the strings from above. It's a striking image that captures the dark supernatural tone the series consistently delivers.
