Hellblazer #127

Part three of four in the "How to Play with Fire" arc finds Hellblazer at a fever pitch, with Sean Phillips delivering a cover that radiates menace and heat. A feral, long-haired figure with glowing green eyes and a jagged grin surges forward from a hellish inferno, ghostly figures writhing in the flames behind him — the whole image practically crackles with supernatural threat. Paul Jenkins and Warren Pleece's 1998 Vertigo run is in full stride here, and this cover makes a compelling case for what's waiting inside.
