Kid Eternity #14

Two unsettling faces share the golden-orange cover of this 1994 DC/Vertigo title — a grinning, blue-toned visage peers from behind a human skull wearing round tinted glasses, the pairing striking an eerie balance between dark humor and genuine menace. Sean Phillips's painted cover work gives both figures a raw, tactile intensity that feels perfectly suited to a story titled "The Devil's Last Stand." Ann Nocenti, Sean Phillips, and Paul Peart bring their collaborative vision to this penultimate stretch of the series, and this cover alone makes a compelling case for picking it up.
