Starman #5

A moonlit cemetery sets a haunting stage for this 1995 installment of DC's Starman, with a stone angel watching over a desperate, green-caped figure in red being driven back by a menacing, masked assailant clutching what appears to be the cosmic rod. Tony Harris's cover art — inked by Harris himself — delivers a raw, visceral confrontation that perfectly captures the brooding atmosphere writer James Robinson brought to this series. With the creative team of Robinson, Harris, and Wade von Grawbadger firing on all cylinders, issue #5 is a compelling snapshot of one of DC's most atmospheric titles of the mid-1990s.
