Doom Patrol #12

A menacing figure in a wide-brimmed black hat and fur-trimmed coat looms over a graveyard, brandishing a golden cymbal with an unsettling grin and face paint — it's a striking, off-kilter image that captures the weird, unpredictable energy Doom Patrol does so well. Tan Eng Huat's stark, high-contrast cover work gives the scene a ghoulish theatrical flair, with the gravestones and wild grass reinforcing that something genuinely strange is unfolding. John Arcudi and Tan Eng Huat's 2002 run continues here with "South of Heaven," promising another chapter of the team's signature brand of darkly surreal adventure.
