Hellblazer #95

Part four of five in the "Critical Mass" arc, this November 1995 Hellblazer installment carries one of the more striking covers of the run: a pale, wild-haired young woman raises a skull-hilted sword overhead while ghostly blue water swirls around her, and a gaunt, spectral face looms ominously in the shadows behind her. Sean Phillips renders the scene with a painterly tension that feels genuinely unsettling — vulnerability and defiance locked together in the same moment. Paul Jenkins is at the helm of the story, making this a compelling chapter to track down for fans of the Vertigo era's supernatural edge.
