Fate #22

In "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," Fate #22 (1996) delivers a poignant, high-stakes journey as Nabu defies the Lords of Order and Chaos, pushing the boundaries of fate itself. Written by Len Kaminski and illustrated by Anthony Williams, with inks by Andy Lanning, colors by Mike Danza, and letters by Pat Prentice, the story follows Fate and Sentinel as they seek eternal peace for the Nelsons, enlisting the help of the Flash and the Spectre in a desperate plea at heaven’s gates. The cover, by Anthony Williams and Andy Lanning, captures the weight of the moment, while the tale ends with Fate returning home—where the Phantom Stranger confirms he’s passed his trials, hinting at greater trials ahead.
