Deadly Class #5

Deadly Class #5 frames its troubled young protagonist inside a swirling, psychedelic circle — wide-eyed and shell-shocked at what appears to be a littered bar or table, surrounded by hallucinatory bursts of warm gold and teal while a strange little creature lurks at the edge of the frame. Wes Craig's cover design pulses with late-1980s countercultural energy, amplified by Lee Loughridge's blazing magenta and neon palette. It's a vivid, unsettling snapshot of a series that has always known how to make teenage alienation look genuinely dangerous.
