Preacher #66

From Vertigo's mature-readers series by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, this October 2000 installment — "A Hell of a Vision" — arrives near the climax of one of the most daring runs in comics history. Glenn Fabry's cover painting sets an extraordinary scene: a massive, godlike figure looms in the foreground, its enormous hands and feet framing a sweeping sky where four sword-bearing angels with great wings soar above a vast, churning swarm of dark birds massing over a fenced enclosure below. It's an image that carries genuine biblical unease, promising that whatever unfolds inside, the stakes are nothing short of cosmic.
