Eclipso: The Darkness Within #1

Promising nothing less than a DC-wide reckoning, this 1992 special kicks off Eclipso: The Darkness Within with a cover that puts the villain front and center — his massive, grinning face filling nearly every inch of the image, a jagged black diamond shard gleaming at the center as pink energy beams radiate outward, while his speech bubble coolly declares, "Let the revels begin…" The tagline "The Many Faces of Evil!" sets the tone for what writers Robert Loren Fleming and Keith Giffen have in store, while Bart Sears and Mark Pennington's cover art makes Eclipso look genuinely unnerving — all teeth and malice. It's a confident, unsettling opener that signals this crossover event means business.
