Hellblazer #262

Peter Milligan continues his India arc in this February 2010 Vertigo issue, with a cover by Simon Bisley that is nothing short of arresting. A commanding woman in flowing red robes and ornate gold jewelry sits enthroned before a massive, blue-skinned demon — all jagged fangs and menacing claws — while two disheveled men crouch at her sides like submissive figures in her orbit. It's a striking composition that sets a tone of ancient power and unease perfectly suited to Hellblazer's brand of supernatural unease.
