Hellspawn #11

Hellspawn #11 brings Ashley Wood's haunting painted cover style to bear on a striking image of the armored hellspawn figure, one fist thrust skyward and clutching a chained weapon, his dark cape and mask rendered in brooding monochromatic tones that feel part fine art, part nightmare. Inside, Steve Niles scripts "Conflicts of Interest" with Ben Templesmith handling every visual layer — pencils, inks, and color — bringing his distinctively atmospheric sensibility to the Image series. It's a 2002 package that pairs two of horror comics' most distinctive visual voices in a single compelling issue.
