Inferno #3

The third chapter of this four-part 1998 DC series leans hard into its teen-magazine parody packaging, and the cover by Stuart Immonen and Wade von Grawbadger sells it perfectly — a sharp-eyed blonde protagonist dominates the center, flanked by a giant panda on one side and a snarling, red-eyed shadow creature on the other, while inset portraits introduce Helen and Jilly alongside a snapshot of the mall. Teaser copy like "Liaison with Light? or A Date with Darkness?" and "Bittersweet Journey of Self-Discovery!" capture the book's knowing blend of superhero action and coming-of-age drama in one glance. It's a genuinely clever cover design that makes the issue stand out immediately on a 1998 rack.
