Hellblazer #6

From Jamie Delano and John Ridgway, with a haunting cover painted by Dave McKean, this June 1988 installment of John Constantine: Hellblazer radiates the series' signature atmosphere of spiritual unease. McKean's cover is a deeply unsettling collage of fragmented, mask-like faces, a dove caught in a dark vortex, a blue cross looming overhead, and a glowing red alchemical triangle at the bottom — imagery that speaks to clashing forces of the sacred and profane. "Extreme Prejudice" promises exactly the kind of morally complicated, occult-tinged storytelling that made this DC mature-readers title so distinctive in 1988.
