New Gods #6

From the creative team of Evanier, Cullins, and Vey comes this 1989 installment of DC's New Gods, subtitled "Deathwalk!" — and the cover by Paris Cullins and Karl Kesel makes abundantly clear why that title fits. A red-caped figure with wild orange hair screams in agony, crushed from all sides by an overwhelming press of massive armored bodies in gold, green, blue, and purple — a visceral image of someone caught in the middle of something truly dire. It's a striking, kinetic piece of work that captures the larger-than-life scale of Jack Kirby's Fourth World mythology in full late-'80s form.
