Journey into Mystery #506

This 1997 chapter of Journey into Mystery featuring the Lost Gods makes a bold visual statement right from the cover, where a fierce, red-hooded figure crackles with wild lightning energy, fist blazing with golden power as a dark, clawed hand strikes from the side — all set against a stark blue backdrop with the ominous tagline "A Time for Death!" The cover pencils by Deodato Studios deliver that raw, kinetic intensity that defined Marvel's mid-'90s aesthetic. With Tom DeFalco at the helm and a full art team bringing the story to life, issue #506 looks like exactly the kind of high-stakes mythological clash the Lost Gods title was built for.
