Hellblazer #285

A demon-horned figure crouches menacingly over an electric guitar on a stage, cigarette clenched between his teeth and blood streaking his face — it's a visceral, rock-and-roll image that captures the dark energy Peter Milligan has been channeling through Hellblazer's "Devil's Trench Coat" arc. Simon Bisley's cover work is all raw intensity, with the low-angle perspective and surrounding speakers making the scene feel like something sinister has taken center stage. Issue #285 is Vertigo horror at its most charged, and if you've been following this storyline, "The Burning Man" chapter looks like it's turning up the heat.
