Hellblazer #88

Deep in a lush jungle setting, a flame-engulfed humanoid figure blazes within the bark of a massive tree while a blond man — unmistakably John Constantine — stands to the right, lighter in hand, coolly observing the supernatural spectacle. Sean Phillips's painted cover work for this April 1995 Vertigo issue is genuinely striking, balancing the dense tropical greens against the vivid orange of the fire in a way that feels both otherworldly and strangely serene. "Mountain of Madness" promises the kind of unsettling occult atmosphere that Eddie Campbell and Phillips brought to Hellblazer at its mature-readers best.
