Stalker #4

Stalker #4 from January 1975 sends DC's soulless warrior charging straight into the heart of an inferno, and the cover by Steve Ditko and Wally Wood captures every scorching moment — Stalker rides a white unicorn through walls of roaring flame, sword raised and shield at the ready, his eerie red eyes fixed on whatever hellish threat awaits. The banner promises a confrontation with the Fury of the Fire Demons, and with "Invade the Inferno" as the story title, the stakes feel delightfully enormous. If you've been following this short-lived but striking DC series, this fiery fourth issue is a vivid reminder of just how much personality Ditko and Wood could pack onto a single page.
