Martian Manhunter #17

The "Flesh and Bones" arc continues in this April 2000 installment of John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake's run, and Mandrake's cover makes a striking first impression: a skeletal figure in a sharp black suit dominates the foreground, a single flame flickering from its bony hand, while a grid of faces — human, alien, and animal — watches from behind like surveillance screens. That mosaic of observed identities feels perfectly tuned to a story called "Hidden Faces," hinting at themes of disguise and multiplicity that have always been central to the Martian Manhunter's world.
