Starman #15

Part four of the five-part "Sins of the Child" arc arrives in this January 1996 issue, subtitled "Mikaal's Day" — and Tony Harris's cover makes the stakes feel visceral and immediate. A pale, red-haired figure screams in apparent agony or ecstasy, his face bathed in a blinding burst of radiant energy that sends jagged streaks of color exploding outward in every direction. It's a striking, painterly image from Harris that pulls you straight into whatever ordeal awaits inside, with Robinson, Harris, and Von Grawbadger's series continuing to deliver one of DC's most atmospheric books of the mid-'90s.
