Hellblazer #35

A brooding, painterly cover by Kent Williams pulls you straight into the unsettling atmosphere of Hellblazer #35 — a darkly framed portrait of a young face, rendered in smeared earth tones and shadow, hovers at the center of a swirling, almost scorched composition. The raw, expressive brushwork gives the whole image a feeling of something trapped or haunted, perfectly in keeping with Jamie Delano's writing and the story's evocative title, "Dead-Boy's Heart." Sean Phillips handles the interior art, making this November 1990 issue a strong showcase of the mature, painterly ambition that defined this era of DC's Vertigo-adjacent horror.
