Doctor Fate #22

In "Stoner Transcendent," Doctor Fate faces his most devastating defeat yet at the hands of the Anti-Fate, as cosmic forces beyond comprehension begin to unravel the balance of order and chaos. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and illustrated with striking detail by Shawn McManus—whose pencils and inks define the cover—this 1990 issue pushes Fate’s mythos into surreal, high-stakes territory, where even the highest beings must intervene to prevent a collapse of reality itself.
