Forgotten Realms Comic Book #15

Part of DC's "Avatar Story" arc, this November 1990 installment of the Forgotten Realms series carries the bold tagline "Against the Gods!" — and the cover delivers on that promise with an unsettling close-up of a figure whose face appears eerily split, revealing a monstrous, multi-eyed visage lurking beneath a pale, long-haired exterior. The disturbing image, rendered by cover penciler Rags Morales and inker Dave Simons, perfectly captures the sense of divine power gone wrong that the Avatar storyline promises. If you've been following the Realms adventures written by Jeff Grubb, this chapter looks like a genuinely compelling turn into darker, god-touched territory.
