Starman #38

Tony Harris and Dusty Abell deliver a striking 1998 cover that places the cold, enigmatic Mist front and center — cradling an infant with unnerving calm while a loaded pistol and baby's pacifier rest on the table before her. Arrayed in the moody crimson background are the assembled heroes of the New Justice League Europe, their ghostly pink silhouettes hinting at the confrontation promised by the cover's bold tagline: "The Mist versus… the New Justice League Europe." With James Robinson's script and art by Dusty Abell backing this chapter of "…La Fraternite de Justice et Liberte!", it's a genuinely unsettling tableau that makes the collision of villainy and superheroics feel surprisingly personal.
