Hellblazer #68

Glenn Fabry's painted cover for Hellblazer #68 (August 1993) is a striking composition that sets a darkly electric tone for Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's "Down All the Days." At center, a grinning, sharp-featured man in a leather jacket lounges with an unsettling confidence, a moody London skyline — complete with a recognizable bridge at dusk — stretching behind him. Flanking the composition are two ghostly, vampiric figures: a woman with blood at her lips and a pale young man with glowing red eyes, their presence lending the whole image a genuinely eerie atmosphere that makes this Vertigo entry hard to put down.
