Hellblazer #280

Part four of "Phantom Pains" arrives with a striking cover by Simon Bisley: a red-haired young woman in a blood-spattered green parka stares out with cold, unsettling intensity, a cigarette in one hand and a dripping, gore-covered object dangling from the other. Whatever Gemma's been through, it clearly wasn't pretty — and Peter Milligan and Gael Bertrand's Vertigo series remains one of the most unflinching corners of the DC universe for mature readers who want their supernatural drama with genuine teeth.
