Deadpool #61

Two massive, blood-red halves of Deadpool's mask dominate this stark 2002 Marvel cover — split down the middle, eyes glowing white against the black background, with crimson dripping downward in a way that perfectly sets the tone for a story called "Funeral for a Freak." The bold 'NUFF SAID' proclamation at the bottom feels genuinely earned given how much atmosphere Georges Jeanty's cover art packs into such a minimalist composition. With Frank Tieri writing and James Calafiore on interior art, this opening chapter of a four-part arc promises the kind of dark, self-aware Deadpool storytelling that made this era of the series so compelling.
