Martian Manhunter #5

Tom Mandrake's cover for this April 1999 issue sets a brooding, atmospheric tone: the Martian Manhunter looms large in his red and blue costume, red eyes burning, while in the foreground a gravestone bearing the name "John Jones" sits amid scattered skulls and grasping hands. The image frames a tension between J'onn J'onzz's alien identity and his long-held human alias in a way that feels genuinely haunting. With John Arcudi writing and Jan Duursema on interior art, this series spinning out of JLA continues to dig into the emotional complexity that makes the Last Son of Mars one of DC's most compelling figures.
