Hellstorm: Prince of Lies #14

A wild, unsettling energy crackles through Kevin O'Neill's cover for this 1994 Marvel horror series, depicting a gaunt, flame-wreathed Hellstorm — his fiery red hair blazing, a pentagram burned into his chest — lunging forward with clawed hands and the boast "I'll Take Manhattan!" The figure's decomposed, skeletal appearance gives the Prince of Lies a genuinely threatening presence, set against a stark grey background that makes the orange and yellow hellfire pop with eerie intensity. With Warren Ellis scripting and Peter Gross handling interior art, Hellstorm: Prince of Lies #14 promises the kind of dark, boundary-pushing storytelling that made this series one of Marvel's more daring supernatural offerings of the mid-nineties.
