Starman #65

Part four of the sprawling "Grand Guignol" arc arrives with a cover by Andrew Robinson that's genuinely hard to look away from — a pale, wide-grinning villain dominates the foreground in a broad black hat and red-lensed goggles, while above him a dark-haired figure clutching a glowing cosmic rod and a red-uniformed adversary struggle in his long, writhing tendrils of hair. James Robinson and Peter Snejbjerg's ongoing Starman saga was firing on all cylinders in 2000, and this haunting image captures the arc's theatrical menace perfectly. If you've been following "Grand Guignol," this fourth chapter looks every bit as intense as the title — named after the French theater of horror — promises.
